Must admit not having looked at OpenRC yet - maybe I understood sth. |
| 29 |
wrong, but: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
+1 for registering OpenRC into host OS's specific init.d mechanism. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Here I'm doing so with distccd on ia64-hpux, having some (host OS |
| 34 |
specific) script in (not yet gentoo-) prefix, understanding additional |
| 35 |
'--install [name]' - or have a separate command for that. |
| 36 |
This needs to be run as root once to register into host OS's init.d |
| 37 |
mechanism. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
For hpux fex this just is adding some symlinks: |
| 40 |
/sbin/init.d/name -> /my/prefix/sbin/init.d/distccd |
| 41 |
/sbin/rc3.d/S990name -> /sbin/init.d/name # to start in runlevel 3 |
| 42 |
/sbin/rc2.d/K100name -> /sbin/init.d/name # to kill for runlevel 2 |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
When doing so with OpenRC's main process, it could integrate smoothly |
| 45 |
with normal system reboot and start prefixed init.d scripts. |
