2011-12-11Allow init scripts to be executed with a relative pathWilliam Hubbs
This was a regression that was caused by the fix for http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350910. I am reverting the commit that we said fixed that bug and re-opening it.

2011-11-19make shell math operations style more succulentMike Frysinger
Convert the style: var=$((${var} + 1)) to: : $(( var += 1 )) The latter is easier to read imo. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

2011-08-22Libeinfo: do not suppress ewarn() messagesWilliam Hubbs
The ewarn() function was affected by the EINFO_QUIET environment variable which lead to warning messages being suppressed. Warnings should not be suppressed. Reported-by: Hanno Boeck <hanno@gentoo.org> X-Gentoo-Bug: 380073 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380073
2011-07-31Improve processing of service directories and conf.d filesWilliam Hubbs
symbolic links should not be followed in an attempt to work out the name of the service we are running. Also, @sysconfdir@/conf.d should be tried as a backup directory for configuration files. I would like to thank Robin Johnson for his input on this change. X-Gentoo-Bug: 350910 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350910

2009-12-14start-stop-daemon can now set process IO scheduling.Roy Marples
2009-11-04Add support for Linux Containers, fixes #202.Roy Marples
Patch by bug reporter.
2009-10-15fix wait time for gentoo bug 288495William Hubbs
The wait time was in seconds. This patch converts it to milliseconds.
2009-09-04Add -P to start-stop-daemon to display a . for each second elapsed.Roy Marples
Fixes #197.
2009-07-01We should use -feature instead of nofeature.Roy Marples
This matches the ifconfig and Gentoo USE flag syntax and is hopefully easier to read. Fixes #178.
2009-05-02TypoRoy Marples
2009-05-02Add runlevel stacking, #88Roy Marples
This implementation has the limitation that you cannot have a stacked runlevel and service of the same name in a runlevel.
2009-05-01Add (c) to CopyrightRoy Marples
2009-05-01Add -i, --ifexists so that we can do thisRoy Marples
rc-sercice -i foo -- restart instead of this rc-service -e foo && rc-service foo -- restart
2009-04-30Add -Z, --dry-run option to show which services we would start/stopRoy Marples
without actually doing so. Fixes #151.
2009-04-30Go back to gitRoy Marples
2009-04-27Add the noshutdown keyword to special case the shutdown.Roy Marples
2009-04-26Add the nostop keyword so that we don't stop the network init script by default.Roy Marples
2009-04-24rc-status -c now lists services that have crashed.Roy Marples
It returns 0 if there are crashed services, otherwise 1. This it easy to restart crashed services automatically. More for #120.
2009-04-22Document -i, --interpreted flag.Roy Marples
2009-04-19-w, --wait secondsRoy Marples
New option so you can set the number of seconds to wait for and check the daemon is still running. The old code that periodically polled wasn't that reliable - in this case simpler == better. Fixes #160
2009-03-05Typo, thanks to Polynomial-CRoy Marples
2009-02-13Typo, #150Roy Marples
Thanks to betelgeuse
2009-01-13Don't allow SYSVINIT parameters through anymore.Roy Marples

2008-11-03--nice is -N, not -n. Also, correct default timeout.Roy Marples
2008-11-03Add a new shutdown runlevel, Gentoo #224537.Roy Marples
Split halt.sh into halt, killprocs, romount and savecache services. The reboot runlevel is removed but mapped to shutdown. The halt script should be moved to the sysvinit package.
2008-10-27Remove sysvinit specific code.Roy Marples
The runlevels shutdown, reboot, sysinit and single should be called by init(8) and shutdown(8) and not manually. sysvinit users will have to add sulogin to their inittab to secure the console.
