help with init startup order

[revoohc]

I need some help. I just installed dansguardian (http://www.dansguardian.org) onto my gentoo system. Since no emege exists for this, I just compiled it from source. However, I am having problem with startup of it. Dansguardian needs to be dependent on the starting of squid. I have tried to add a "depends () { needs squid }" to the dansguardian init.d file and I have added it to the default level via the rc-update script, but it is not loading squid first.

Could someone please clarify how to make this init script run after squid starts or to force it to load squid?

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry, that was a posting typo on my behalf. What you listed is exactly what I have in the top of my dansguardian init file. Here is the actual contents:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for dansguardian
#
# chkconfig: 35 92 8
# description: A web content filtering plugin for web \
# proxies, developed to filter using lists of \
# banned phrases, MIME types, filename \
# extensions and PICS labling.
# processname: dansguardian
# pidfile: /var/run/dansguardian.pid
# config: /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf

CONFFILELOCATION=/etc/dansguardian/
BINARYLOCATION=/usr/sbin/
PIDDIR=/var/run/

## make sure squid is loaded
depend() {
need squid
}

# See how we were called.

case "$1" in
start)
if [ -f ${BINARYLOCATION}dansguardian ] &&
[ -f ${CONFFILELOCATION}dansguardian.conf ]; then
echo -n "Starting dansguardian: "
if ${BINARYLOCATION}dansguardian 2> /dev/null; then
echo -e "\\033[60G\c"
echo -e "[ \\033[1;32m\c"
echo -e "OK\c"
echo -e "\\033[0;39m\c"

[ -d /var/lock/subsys ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/dansguardian
else
echo -e "\\033[60G\c"
echo -e "[ \\033[1;31m\c"
echo -e "FAILED\c"
echo -e "\\033[0;39m\c"
echo " ]"
fi

echo -n "Shutting down dansguardian: "

/bin/rm -f ${PIDDIR}dansguardian.pid
/bin/rm -f /tmp/.dguardianipc

exit 0

$0 start

Aha! You are mixing up two different kinds of scripts. Since you started your script with

[revoohc]

Jimbow,

Thanks for pointing that out (still getting familiar with Gentoo). I used the ntp startup script to rewrite dansguardian and now everything is working great.

This doesn't work for me. I modified the standard script that came with dansguardian, just modified the need bit to:
depend() {
need squid
}

Still when I start dansguardain without squid running it bombs out with:
* Starting DansGuardian...
Error creating connecting to test proxy

If I start squid manually first and then start dansguardian all is well.
The default init.d script uses #!/sbin/runscript as required.

Idea's anyone?

AFAIK you'll have to change the case switch to start(), stop() and restart() functions.

Now I'm really lost!

If the casing of some command would have been wrong I assume the scripts would not work if I started them one after another??

Could dansguardian be starting before squid has fully started up and reports itself as operational?

[tomk]

When I was talking about case, I meant the case command. Using the rc script from revoohc, it should look something like this:

It works!!!! Thanks!

Guess the thing about the case command shows why it says n00b below my name
