I would love to be proven wrong, but I don't think so. We have two |
| 7 |
main problems. First, The service scripts are POSIX sh, which is |
| 8 |
better than bash, but still can't easily be parsed for semantic |
| 9 |
information. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Second, if the daemon is "special," then the service script is |
| 12 |
justified in being similarly unconventional. Unusual runtime behavior |
| 13 |
can't be statically detected, and I doubt that the well-behaved |
| 14 |
portion of daemons in the tree is large enough that we can warn about |
| 15 |
every script that smells a little bit fishy. |
