Hi Laszlo ! >Yes, it is possible to do it without systemd, although pretty >much everyone seems to be switching across, really, even Ubuntu >itself.
... and I'm never going to use Ubuntu again, for there decisions. >I have no idea why you would like to make it so complex.

Your assumption would >make it complex, but that was not suggested. Your explanation does not make sense. Either the config file is read (only) during startup of ntpd (then all info can be passed from command line) or the running daemon need to be signaled when it's time to read the config file. >Hmm, you do not seem to have understood the issue. Currently, >Yocto will do it differently, so will Buildroot, OpenWrt, and >what not. This is not nice. All those systems are not Busybox. It is not wrong to share your work, but do we need to blow up the existing Busybox code for this? Why can't you share your work with other projects, without adding code to the Busybox binary. It is not wrong to have a common solution for a problem, but I ought you going to do it at the wrong place. >Again, I have no idea why you think reading 1-2 variables from a >file is a "Why do we need to blow up an otherwise small daemon >with this config file handling stuff?" situation. Have you ever written such a daemon with config file option? I did several and know what is required. Either it makes no sense to read config file in ntpd code, due to the fact you can pass all info on command line, or you need all the extra code to reread config lines when the configuration change. ... else give exact info on how you want to add this to ntpd. >Please be considerate to the use cases, not pre-mature >optimization. It is not premature optimization. It's the question of resource consumption and if things are necessary to be included in a (per definition) small tool box like Busybox. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
