introduce syntaxical ambiguousity, and having concatenation with && or
|| costs nothing because our sh(1) has test(1) builtin.
- use elif construct to avoid dungling else-ifs.
- while-read construct does not need enclosed by a sub-shell.
- variable detection could be done in eval args=\$ifconfig_$int
- smart variable substitution occationally saves lines and extra command
invocations.
implicitly using $name if $rcvar isn't set), and always perform this check,
even when using start_cmd (et al).
this check is performed before the pidcmd
is run, speeding up scripts that weren't going to be run anyway.
this should speed up booting slow systems.
- take advantage of the above and remove
start_precmd="checkyesno foo"
in scripts that use start_cmd.
- explicitly set rcvar=foo in the rc.d/foo scripts which have an equivalent
rc.conf entry
- fix `rcvar' and `restart' when $rcvar isn't set.
these above changes fix PR [bin/11027].
- when doing `force*', ignore the return value of *_precmd.
this fixes PR [bin/10781].
- rename what sysdb provides from `databases' to `sysdb', to reflect
the name of the script.
- improve the comments in rc.subr
networking to be operational before starting, and use as appropriate.
NETWORK depends upon network and dhclient.
* move the guts of systemfs into mountcritlocal
* replace the dependancy on systemfs with mountcritremote, and remove the
former.
* SERVERS now also depends upon ppp
Notes:
* dhclient (and others) needs /var to be a $critical_filesystem_beforenet
* dhclient now starts before syslogd (because the latter needs /usr, and
/usr might need dhclient to be mounted)
