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
respond in the allotted time if they're told to TALK immediately after
completing a LISTEN command. Experimentation with adb_op_sync() yielded
consistent results when the timeout was increased from the documented
6900 usec to 8000 usec, so we'll make that change here.
(Accurate and complete documentation of the hardware sure would help...)
data. This is useful when piping cron error output to mail. While I am
there add -~ to be a synonym for -I [but don't document it]. This is for
compatibility with other OS's.
and a front-end driver for the Ether3. Only semantic change is to remove
ea_claimirq() and ea_releaseirq() on the grounds that the seem too spurious
to warrant a callback to the front-end.
in the MIPS prom loader we have to be very careful how the sections are
ordered and the number of sections defined. For this reason the standard
linker scripts cannot be used.
The exact rules don't appear to be documented and a little experimentation
is required.
and alpha ports.
Uses PROM standalone I/O functions but due to the lack of a lseek function
it currently only works with version 5.40 of the firmware. A more portable
solution is being worked on.
installboot utility requires several changes in order to correctly install
the bootstrap code - there is a "volume directory" which contains a list
of filenames, start sectors and length. We need to add a "boot" entry of
the correct length starting at block 2. The boot file has to be ecoff
which means we waste another 0.5k
Normally the Mips filesystem has a ~500k partition for this purpose but it
should be possible to squeeze it all into the first 7k "BSD Style" (1k is
required for 2 different copies of the partition table)
Only the bootxx_ffs first stage bootstrap has been tested via bootp() which
loads the second stage off disk and then boots the kernel.
