> The %{l_prefix}/etc/rc.d/rc.%{name} scripts for daemons should provide
> a %status section which returns information about the daemon being up
> and running or not.
The section always has to exit with return code 0 (i.e. there
is always a status) and the status information has to be
a valid /bin/sh script containing only variable defintions
with variable names prefixed with "<package-name>_". At least
two variables have to exist always:
<package-name>_usable="yes|no" # meaning: config, license, etc. (in)valid, etc.
<package-name>_active="yes|no" # meaning: daemon is running/stopped, etc
Supported usage has to be:
# rc.myself:
%restart
eval `rc myself status`
if [ ".$myself_active`" = .yes ]; then
rc myself stop start
fi
# myself.spec:
%pre
eval `rc myself status | tee ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/myself.status`
if [ ".$myself_active`" = .yes ]; then
%{l_rc} myself stop
fi
%post
eval `cat ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/myself.status`
if [ ".$myself_active`" = .yes ]; then
%{l_rc} myself start
fi
rm -f ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/myself.status
$ rc myself status
myself_usable="yes"
myself_active="no"
> eval `rc all status`
> if [ ".$foo_active" = .yes ]; then
> fi
