[Tutor] Init Scripts

2008-07-04 Thread Stephen Nelson-Smith
Hello,

I've been wrestling with some badly written init scripts, and picking
my way through the redhat init script system.  I'm getting to the
point of thinking I could do this sort of thing in Python just as
effectively.

Are there any pointers available?  Eg libraries that give process
information, so I can obtain status information?

IMHO the Linux OS itself relays heavily on python in some way or the other,
but as far as the boot process is concerned I think you should consider the
fact that it was engeneered by very smart poeple, very security aware
poeple, so you will have to give a really good ALTERNATIVE to thier
engeneering to compete with them, I would suggest you move to Debian instead
of Redhat, I think it's better but its a personal choice.

But the Modules that deal with this would be : os, sys, subprocess  many
other I don't know of :)
