Bug 12887 – rc scripts excution order

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Zhen Lin 2002-12-29 01:41:19 UTC]

rc scripts are started and stopped in alphabetical order, with deviations caused
by need, use, after and before. I believe that rc scripts should be stopped in
reverse alphabetical order, instead of in alphabetical order for a proper
mirrored start/stop order.

Also, I have noticed that one of my rc scripts that 'needs net' is stopped after
one of net services has stopped. In particular, the service in question is named
'noip' and the net service is named 'net.adsl' (net.adsl is 'after net.eth0')

[Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-12-29 04:41:06 UTC]

If they have a before or after, that is reversed.  If there are no relationship,
I do not see the point.

Send me a tarball of your /mnt/.init.d/

The 'noip' and 'net.*' services .. in what runlevel ?   If all in default,
please go out of X for instance, and run:

 # rc boot

Then send me the output.  Also send me a second tarball of /mnt/.init.d/
when in the boot runlevel.

To restore default runlevel, run:

 # rc default


Thanks.

Ok, two things:

1)  The depend() stuff in noip is wrong.  All the needs should be on one line.

2)  Please send me the noip script as well, thanks.

This is the rc script that is misbehaving

Ok, I think I know what the problem is .. looks to be related to my last
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING related changes.  Will fix and send you a test version
in the next day or two.

/sbin/runscript.sh

Copy this to /sbin, and let me know if it fixes the problem, thanks.

[Comment 7 Zhen Lin 2003-01-02 19:19:38 UTC]

Thanks, but it seems to have cleared up by itself suddenly, although the diffs
are interesting to look at... Perhaps I should shange net.adsl to net.ppp0.

[Comment 8 Zhen Lin 2003-01-02 19:22:17 UTC]

Oh, what are these changes for?

597c597
< 		cp ${svcdir}/started/* ${svcdir}/snapshot/
---
> 		cp -a ${svcdir}/started/* ${svcdir}/snapshot/
601c601
< 		if [ -n "$(egrep 'restart()' /etc/init.d/${myservice})" ]
---
> 		if [ -n "$(egrep '^[[:space:]]*restart[[:space:]]*()'
/etc/init.d/${myservice})" ]

I can understand cp -a, why wasn't it there in the first place? And what about
the other change?

[Comment 9 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-01-02 19:39:57 UTC]

Err, forgot the -a first time =)  The grep changes is for the new bind that
trigger that wrongly.

Anyhow, It was really a bug in the scripts, they should not expect 
net\..*[[:digit:]], but work with any net.* ...

[Comment 10 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-04-27 12:09:16 UTC]

This should be fixed in latest unstable baselayouts.  Reopen and let me know
what/how it is breaking if not.

[Comment 11 Zhen Lin 2003-04-28 04:40:15 UTC]

The problem seems to have been fixed... But some programs that depend on net are still stopping after my ADSL has shut down. Squid, for instance. net I believe is still being shut down in two stages... I'll have to check. 

I'll test the new baselayout... Which one is it?

[Comment 12 Zhen Lin 2003-04-28 08:55:54 UTC]

Sorry, silly mistake. It's working fine now.
