1 Good evening all,
2
3 I figured it was about time to start the Guarddog firewall script
4 automatically, instead of always typing /etc/rc.firewall. The obvious
5 thing to do was add it to /etc/conf.d/local.start. Easy enough. But it
6 didn't start. OK, let's put a few logger commands in there and see where
7 it fails. Nothing logged. Nada. Zilch. Tried the same thing in the
8 /etc/init.d/local script. Once again, nothing logged. Here's the
9 beginning of the local script
10
11 depend() {
12 after *
13 }
14
15 start() {
16 ebegin "Starting local"
17
18 # Add any misc programs that should be started
19 # to /etc/conf.d/local.start
20 logger -p auth.info "This is right before local.start is sourced"
21 if [[ -e /etc/conf.d/local.start ]] ; then
22 source /etc/conf.d/local.start
23 fi
24 eend $? "Failed to start local"
25 }
26
27 The initial "Starting local" is displayed as the system boots, but
28 that's all that happens. If I do a /etc/init.d/local restart, all is
29 well, and all is logged.
30
31 Am I once again missing the obvious?
32
33 Thanks,
34 John
