Bug 282310 – krcstat-0.6.ebuild (new package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Robin Atwood 2009-08-22 14:53:40 UTC]

Krcstat is a graphic replacement for the Gentoo rc-status and 
rc-update command line utilities.It can be used to check all your
services are active and generate an alert if they are not. You may 
easily create new runlevels and drag services from the Services pane
into them. (Alternate runlevels may be specified by using the softlevel 
parameter on the kernel command line in Grub or Lilo.)

Note that the active monitoring for a failed service only works if the 
service script uses the "start-stop-daemon" command which records the process 
name. Not all scripts use this, e.g. apache2. Other services are simply checks
that run once and do not start a daemon.

Krcstat is a bit conservative and will not let you delete the boot or default 
runlevels or certain boot services deemed as critical. This is to stop you
rendering your system unbootable! To use its configuration features it must 
run as root; if you only want to monitor services, it can be run as a user.

This latest version is upgraded to use KDE 4.* and also supports 
Gentoo Baselayout Release 2.

New ebuild for updated version

KrcStat was updated too 0.6.1 to fix some small bugs.

New ebuild to fix regression

Nasty regression causes a segfault if a removed package leaves an orphaned symlink under /etc/runlevels. Immediate update highly recommended.

Already in tree.
