Bug 28938 – Add daemontools support to init script for samba

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Mark Francis 2003-09-16 23:05:51 UTC]

This patch adds daemontools support to the samba init script. daemontools
support also requires 4 additional files:
/var/daemontools/smbd/run
/var/daemontools/smbd/log/run
/var/daemontools/nmbd/run
/var/daemontools/nmbd/log/run

daemontools does not need to be installed and it's use is optional.

Default is to use daemontools if it is installed. This seems reasonable.

daemontools run script for smbd logger

Previous entry is actually the run file for smbd, not nmbd.

samba-2.2.8a.ebuild patch

Ok, nice job. Works fine for me. Here's a
patch for the 2.2.8a ebuild that installs
the necessary files. It's pretty simple
so adding it to the other ebuilds is trivial
as well. I'm leaving it up to woodchip to
decide where he wants this :-).

[Comment 7 Hallgrimur Gunnarsson (RETIRED) 2003-09-17 02:14:30 UTC]

Yes, I forgot, take notice of the filesnames
in the 2.2.8a patch, they're the following:

files/smbd-run
files/smbd-log-run
files/nmbd-run
files/nmbd-log-run

[Comment 8 Donny Davies (RETIRED) 2003-09-17 05:20:19 UTC]

ok.  incidentally i made the files/config-svc-smbd+nmbd scriptlet for 
this purpose a couple years ago.

i'll need to have another look at this though.

Look at my comment in:

  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28941

I do not like hacking the same thing in 20 scripts.

[Comment 10 Donny Davies (RETIRED) 2003-09-25 14:28:31 UTC]

New toplevel directories are not supposed to be created in /var.  We might
consider moving /var/empty (SSH privsep) as well just to be consistent.

A supervised initscript can live in it's own file, like init.d/samba-svc.

Also, I've already kept supervised init files in the net-fs/samba/files directory
for quite some time now.  See files/samba-svc and files/config-svc-smbd+nmbd.

I might just add these into the ebuild again; I never removed them from CVS
because I figured it might be requested in the future, like now.

Just 'source files/config-svc-smbd+nmbd' in src_intall, and then call the
function config_install.  Two lines, everything is already there.

I notice the stuff in CVS and your stuff are quite different, I dont which
are "better" or what right now.

Is there still interest in this ? Any patches for the current version of samba ? 

[Comment 12 Michael Glauche (RETIRED) 2004-08-26 02:33:49 UTC]

closing it now, due to lack of new feedback .. if still interest, feel free to reopen the bug.
