name where the user should look at for documentation about rcvar. It defaults to 'rc.subr(5)', as rc.subr is mainly used by rc.d scripts. This variable is useful to let the daily, weekly, monthly and security scripts tune the warning message shown when any of the variables they handle is not properly set. Closes PR misc/23908.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
contains commonly used shell script functions which are used by
|
|
various scripts such as
|
|
.Xr rc 8 ,
|
|
and the periodic system services which are controlled by
|
|
.Xr daily.conf 5 ,
|
|
.Xr monthly.conf 5 ,
|
|
.Xr security.conf 5 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr weekly.conf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
functions are accessed by sourcing
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.subr
|
|
into the current shell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following shell functions are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic backup_file Ar action Ar file Ar current Ar backup
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Make a backup copy of
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
into
|
|
.Ar current .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable
|
|
.Sy backup_uses_rcs
|
|
is
|
|
.Sq YES ,
|
|
use
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
to archive the previous version of
|
|
.Ar current ,
|
|
otherwise save the previous version of
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
as
|
|
.Ar backup .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar action
|
|
may be one of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width remove
|
|
.It Sy add
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is now being backed up by or possibly re-entered into this backup mechanism.
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
is created, and if necessary, the
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
files are created as well.
|
|
.It Sy update
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
has changed and needs to be backed up.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
exists, it is copied to
|
|
.Ar backup
|
|
or checked into
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
(if the repository file is old),
|
|
and then
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is copied to
|
|
.Ar current .
|
|
.It Sy remove
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is no longer being tracked by this backup mechanism.
|
|
If
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
is being used, an empty file is checked in and
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
is removed,
|
|
otherwise
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
is moved to
|
|
.Ar backup .
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Ic checkyesno Ar var
|
|
Return 0 if
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
is defined to
|
|
.Sq YES ,
|
|
.Sq TRUE ,
|
|
.Sq ON ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Sq 1 .
|
|
Return 1 if
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
is defined to
|
|
.Sq NO ,
|
|
.Sq FALSE ,
|
|
.Sq OFF ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Sq 0 .
|
|
Otherwise, warn that
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
is not set correctly.
|
|
The values are case insensitive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the warning message shown by this function when
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
is not set references a manual page where the user can find more information.
|
|
Its name is picked up from the
|
|
.Sy rcvar_manpage
|
|
variable.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Ic check_pidfile
|
|
.Ar pidfile
|
|
.Ar procname
|
|
.Op Ar interpreter
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Parses the first word of the first line of
|
|
.Ar pidfile
|
|
for a PID, and ensures that the process with that PID
|
|
is running and its first argument matches
|
|
.Ar procname .
|
|
Prints the matching PID if successful, otherwise nothing.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar interpreter
|
|
is provided, parse the first line of
|
|
.Ar procname ,
|
|
ensure that the line is of the form
|
|
.Dl #! interpreter [...]
|
|
and use
|
|
.Ar interpreter
|
|
with its optional arguments and
|
|
.Ar procname
|
|
appended as the process string to search for.
|
|
.It Ic check_process Ar procname Op Ar interpreter
|
|
Prints the PIDs of any processes that are running with a first
|
|
argument that matches
|
|
.Ar procname .
|
|
.Ar interpreter
|
|
is handled as per
|
|
.Ic check_pidfile .
|
|
.It Ic err Ar exitval Ar message
|
|
Display an error message to
|
|
.Em stderr ,
|
|
log it to the system log
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr logger 1 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm exit
|
|
with an exit value of
|
|
.Ar exitval .
|
|
The error message consists of the script name
|
|
(from
|
|
.Sy $0 ) ,
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Dq ": ERROR: " ,
|
|
and then
|
|
.Ar message .
|
|
.It Ic load_rc_config Ar command
|
|
Source in the configuration files for
|
|
.Ar command .
|
|
First,
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
is sourced if it has not yet been read in.
|
|
Then,
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/ Ns Ar command
|
|
is sourced if it is an existing file.
|
|
The latter may also contain other variable assignments to override
|
|
.Ic run_rc_command
|
|
arguments defined by the calling script, to provide an easy
|
|
mechanism for an administrator to override the behaviour of a given
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
script without requiring the editing of that script.
|
|
.It Ic mount_critical_filesystems Ar type
|
|
Go through a list of critical file systems,
|
|
as found in the
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable
|
|
.Sy critical_filesystems_ Ns Ar type ,
|
|
mounting each one that
|
|
is not currently mounted.
|
|
.It Ic rc_usage Ar command Op Ar ...
|
|
Print a usage message for
|
|
.Sy $0 ,
|
|
with
|
|
.Ar commands
|
|
being the list of valid arguments
|
|
prefixed by
|
|
.Dq "[fast|force|one]" .
|
|
.It Ic reverse_list Ar item Op Ar ...
|
|
Print the list of
|
|
.Ar items
|
|
in reverse order.
|
|
.It Ic run_rc_command Ar argument
|
|
Run the
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
method for the current
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
script, based on the settings of various shell variables.
|
|
.Ic run_rc_command
|
|
is extremely flexible, and allows fully functional
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
scripts to be implemented in a small amount of shell code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
is searched for in the list of supported commands, which may be one
|
|
of:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width restart -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy start
|
|
Start the service.
|
|
This should check that the service is to be started as specified by
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 .
|
|
Also checks if the service is already running and refuses to start if
|
|
it is.
|
|
This latter check is not performed by standard
|
|
.Nx
|
|
scripts if the system is starting directly to multi-user mode, to
|
|
speed up the boot process.
|
|
.It Sy stop
|
|
If the service is to be started as specified by
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 ,
|
|
stop the service.
|
|
This should check that the service is running and complain if it's not.

|
.It Sy restart
|
|
Perform a

|
If
|
|
.Sy pidfile
|
|
or

|
.Sy procname
|
|
is set, also support:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width restart -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy poll
|
|
Wait for the command to exit.
|
|
.It Sy status
|
|
Show the status of the process.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other supported commands are listed in the optional variable
|
|
.Sy extra_commands .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
may have one of the following prefixes which alters its operation:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "Prefix" -offset indent
|
|
.It Sy fast
|
|
Skip the check for an existing running process,
|
|
and sets

|
Skip the checks for
|
|
.Sy rcvar
|
|
being set to yes,
|
|
and sets
|
|
.Sy rc_force=YES .
|
|
This ignores
|
|
.Ar argument Ns Sy _precmd
|
|
returning non-zero, and ignores any of the
|
|
.Sy required_*
|
|
tests failing, and always returns a zero exit status.
|
|
.It Sy one
|
|
Skip the checks for
|
|
.Sy rcvar
|
|
being set to yes, but performs all the other prerequisite tests.
|
|
.El

.Pp
|
|
.Ic run_rc_command
|
|

|
|
Unless otherwise stated, these are optional.
|
|

.It Sy name
|
|
The name of this script.
|

Optional arguments and/or shell directives for
|
|
.Sy command .
|
|
.It Sy command_interpreter
|
|
.Sy command
|
|
is started with
|
|
.Dl #! command_interpreter [...]
|
|
which results in its
|
|
.Xr ps 1
|
|
command being
|
|
.Dl command_interpreter [...] command

|
|
Extra commands/keywords/arguments supported.
|

.It Sy pidfile
|
|
Path to pid file.

.Dl check_pidfile $pidfile $procname
|
|
to find the PID.

|
|
to find the PID.

This is usually set in
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 ,
|
|
and not in the
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|

|
|
The environment variable
|
|
.Sq Ev flags

Setting this variable enables systracing

|
of the given program. The use of
|
|
.Sq -a
|
|
is
|
|
recommended so that the boot process is not

systrace, set this variable to

|
|
If the default method is being executed, this check is performed after
