 Posted: Wed May 21, 2003 8:59 pm Post subject: /etc/init.d/pants . . . now with ebuild! |
 |
|
I stumbled across this script through ThinkGeek's Fortunes page, and it amused me.
I have hacked it to work on Gentoo, though in order to suppress some of Gentoo's rc script output, it is using /bin/bash as the interpreter instead of /sbin/runscript. I think it still behaves pretty much like a Gentoo init script, though.
I also added a "No Pants $DAY" option, just for fun.
It is recommended that everyone download this script (or ebuild) & put it in your "default" runlevel, lest you catch cold!
Hope some of you get a chuckle out of this.
NEW A "pants" ebuild!"
Just download this file and unpack it into $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/app-misc/ or wherever. This is for those of you who refuse to put anything on your systems that doesn't have an ebuild. It's also for those of you who think typing "emerge pants" is funny.
Also on edit: Tweaked the script some to behave more like the original.
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
source /etc/init.d/functions.sh
NUMPROC=`grep -c "^cpu[0-9]" /proc/stat`
PANTLOCK="/var/lock/subsys/pants"
NOPANTS=`/bin/date +%A`
DAY="Thursday"
start() {
if [ "$NOPANTS" == "$DAY" ] ; then
ewarn "It's No Pants $DAY! Woo-hoo!"
if [ -f $PANTLOCK ] ; then
$0 stop
fi
else
einfon "Putting on pants"
if [ "$NUMPROC" -gt "1" ] ; then
echo -n ", one leg at a time"
fi
echo "..."
if [ -f $PANTLOCK ] ; then
/bin/false
eend $?
eerror "Looks like we've still got some old pants on. They'll do."
else
touch $PANTLOCK
eend $?
fi
fi
}
stop() {
if [ -f $PANTLOCK ] ; then
ebegin "Taking off pants"
rm -f $PANTLOCK
eend $?
else
eerror "We're not wearing any pants!"
/bin/false
eend $?
fi
}
restart() {
echo ""
ebegin "Time for a change of pants"
$0 stop
$0 start
eend $?
}
status() {
if [ "$NOPANTS" == "$DAY" ] ; then
ewarn "It's No Pants $DAY! Woo-hoo!"
$0 stop
elif [ -f $PANTLOCK ] ; then
einfo "Pants are ON . . . "
else
eerror "We're not wearing any pants!"
eend 1
fi
}
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
restart
;;
status)
status
;;
*|"")
einfo "Acceptable uses for pants: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
esac
exit 0 |

* Putting on pants... [ ok ]
# /etc/init.d/pants start
* Looks like we've still got some old pants on. They'll do....

 btw I could not get what you posted to work but messed about with the one from the link you gave.
When I run what you posted I get:
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/pants start
/etc/init.d/pants: line 68: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/etc/init.d/pants: line 68: ` *)'

Yup. My posted code had gotten out of sync with the script (I added the "*)" option as I was posting the message), and I forgot the ";;" after "status."
Thanks!

I just loaded this on our main server and showed the boss. I think he needs new pants.
Excellent!
Cheers,

Ahh, but "No Pants $DAY" is easily configurable, right at the top of the init script. So if you're one of those "three day weekend" types, you can make it No Pants Friday instead.

is there something wrong about the ebuild or am I missing something?
| Code: | --- No package manifest found: /usr/local/portage/app-misc/pants/Manifest
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) pants
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking pants to /var/tmp/portage/pants-0.7/work
unpack pants: file format not recognized. Ignoring.
>>> Source unpacked.
>>> Install pants-0.7 into /var/tmp/portage/pants-0.7/image/ category app-misc
install: cannot stat `pants': No such file or directory
man:
prepallstrip:
strip:
>>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/pants-0.7/image/
