Description Frank Barton 2005-03-06 10:30:16 UTC

I run the Distributed.net client as an init script on startup, and have found that it slows down any compiles in a non-trivial manner.
would it be possible in, for example, make.conf to have a list of "pre-emerge" and "post-emerge" programs, such that when emerge is called , it first runs the "pre-emerge" commands then starts the emerge, then once everything is completed, it runs the "post-emerge" command
ie:
PRE_EMERGE /etc/init.d/dnetc stop
POST_EMERGE /etc/init.d/dnetc start

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot system
2.emerge anything
3.

why don't you simply create an alias?

Write a script or add an alias alias as Simon proposed.
