 Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2005 5:07 am Post subject: adsl-start init script |
 |
|
Ok, I got a bit sick of having to manually start my adsl connection using "adsl-start" whenever I shut down my machine or rebooted my router so I hacked up a little init script and thought it may be handy for others.
It aint pretty and I havent bothered with a conf.d file or checking for adsl-start pids or anything (infact it's downright dirty) so ymmv.
/etc/init.d/adsld
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# Init script used to start/stop adsl connection
depend(){
need net
}
start() {
ebegin Starting adsl
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/adsld.pid --make-pidfile --exec /usr/sbin/adsl-start
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin Shutting down adsl
/usr/sbin/adsl-stop
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/adsld.pid --name adsl-start
rm -f /var/run/adsld.pid
eend $?
}
status() {
ebegin adsl status
/usr/sbin/adsl-status
}
|
| Code: | rc-update add adsld default
|

Are you aware of the local service? It's provided to handle site-specific quirks of that sort. For your example, this would achieve the same result:
Add to /etc/conf.d/local.start: | Code: | # Bring up ADSL link
/usr/sbin/adsl-start |
Add to /etc/conf.d/local.stop: | Code: | # Drop ADSL link
/usr/sbin/adsl-stop |
As root: | Code: | | rc-update add local boot |
(You may find local is already in the boot runlevel; check first with rc-update show.)
The local.start and local.stop scripts can added to as required...easier than writing a separate init script for each special case you find.

Yeah .. I'm aware of that. But when playing with my router I just find it nice to be able to
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/adsl restart |
This makes the starting, stopping, restarting and checking status of "adsl-connect" a no brainer as it is always the same set of commands initiated all in the one place rather than having to add adsl-start/adsl-stop to local for boot purposes and having to execute /usr/sbin/adsl-start, /usr/sbin/adsl-stop, /usr/sbin/adsl-status when needing to do it manually (also a point to note is that my depend "need" requires net which in turn ensures: iptables, prelude-nids, prelude-lml, prelude-manager, snort, barnyard and portsentry are executed on my system). I find it easier for me to just execute this init script
Anyway, as I said, it's just a quick hack
