Robert Newson commented on COUCHDB-2246:
----------------------------------------
we'd need a special prefix or something, otherwise this idea is a privilege
escalation vector.
> Make OS daemons configuration key available
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-2246
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2246
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Reporter: Johannes J. Schmidt
>
> When registering an os_daemon
> {code}
> [os_daemons]
> my_daemon = /usr/bin/command
> {code}
> there is no possibility to access the key *my_daemon*.
> I would like to manage daemon configuration under the specific key, which
> enables having different configurations for multiple instances of a single
> daemon script:
> {code}
> [os_daemons]
> slow_daemon = /usr/bin/command
> fast_daemon = /usr/bin/command
> ; settings for instance slow_daemon of /usr/bin/command
> [slow_daemon]
> dbs: _users,_replicator
> speed: 1
> ; settings for instance fast_daemon of /usr/bin/command
> [fast_daemon]
> dbs: projects,clients
> speed: 10
> {code}
> I think this could be done either via a new command, eg
> {code}
> ["key"]\n
> {code}
> or via environment variable, without breaking backwards compatibility.
