.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
script
|
|
contains commonly used shell script functions and variable
|
|
definitions which are used by various scripts such as
|
|
.Xr rc 8 .
|
|
Scripts required by ports in
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/etc/rc.d
|
|
will also eventually
|
|
be rewritten to make use of it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
functions were mostly imported from
|
|
.Nx
|
|
and it is intended that they remain synced between the
|
|
two projects.
|
|
With that in mind there are several variable
|
|
definitions that can help in this regard.
|
|
They are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Va OSTYPE
|
|
Its value will be either
|
|
.Qq Li FreeBSD
|
|
or
|
|
.Qq Li NetBSD ,
|
|
depending on which OS it is running on.
|
|
.It Va SYSCTL
|
|
The path to the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
command.
|
|
.It Va SYSCTL_N
|
|
The path and argument list to display only the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
values instead of a
|
|
.Ar name Ns = Ns Ar value
|
|
pair.
|
|
.It Va SYSCTL_W
|
|
The path and argument to write or modify
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
values.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
functions are accessed by sourcing
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.subr
|
|
into the current shell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following shell functions are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It Ic backup_file Ar action file current backup
|
|
Make a backup copy of
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
into
|
|
.Ar current .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va backup_uses_rcs
|
|
is
|
|
.Dq Li YES ,
|
|
use
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
to archive the previous version of
|
|
.Ar current ,
|
|
otherwise save the previous version of
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
as
|
|
.Ar backup .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar action
|
|
argument
|
|
may be one of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm remove"
|
|
.It Cm add
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is now being backed up by or possibly re-entered into this backup mechanism.
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
is created, and if necessary, the
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
files are created as well.
|
|
.It Cm update
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
has changed and needs to be backed up.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
exists, it is copied to
|
|
.Ar backup
|
|
or checked into
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
(if the repository file is old),
|
|
and then
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is copied to
|
|
.Ar current .
|
|
.It Cm remove
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is no longer being tracked by this backup mechanism.
|
|
If
|
|
.Xr rcs 1
|
|
is being used, an empty file is checked in and
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
is removed,
|
|
otherwise
|
|
.Ar current
|
|
is moved to
|
|
.Ar backup .
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Ic checkyesno Ar var
|
|
Return 0 if
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
is defined to
|
|
.Dq Li YES ,
|
|
.Dq Li TRUE ,
|
|
.Dq Li ON ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql 1 .
|
|
Return 1 if
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
is defined to
|
|
.Dq Li NO ,
|
|
.Dq Li FALSE ,
|
|
.Dq Li OFF ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql 0 .
|
|
Otherwise, warn that
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
is not set correctly.
|
|
The values are case insensitive.
|
|
.It Ic check_pidfile Ar pidfile procname Op Ar interpreter
|
|
Parses the first word of the first line of
|
|
.Ar pidfile
|
|
for a PID, and ensures that the process with that PID
|
|
is running and its first argument matches
|
|
.Ar procname .
|
|
Prints the matching PID if successful, otherwise nothing.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar interpreter
|
|
is provided, parse the first line of
|
|
.Ar procname ,
|
|
ensure that the line is of the form:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "#! interpreter [...]"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
and use
|
|
.Ar interpreter
|
|
with its optional arguments and
|
|
.Ar procname
|
|
appended as the process string to search for.
|
|
.It Ic check_process Ar procname Op Ar interpreter
|
|
Prints the PIDs of any processes that are running with a first
|
|
argument that matches
|
|
.Ar procname .
|
|
.Ar interpreter
|
|
is handled as per
|
|
.Ic check_pidfile .
|
|
.It Ic debug Ar message
|
|
Display a debugging message to
|
|
.Va stderr ,
|
|
log it to the system log using
|
|
.Xr logger 1 ,
|
|
and
|
|
return to the caller.
|
|
The error message consists of the script name
|
|
(from
|
|
.Va $0 ) ,
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Dq Li ": DEBUG: " ,
|
|
and then
|
|
.Ar message .
|
|
This function is intended to be used by developers
|
|
as an aid to debugging scripts.
|
|
It can be turned on or off
|
|
by the
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va rc_debug .
|
|
.It Ic err Ar exitval message
|
|
Display an error message to
|
|
.Va stderr ,
|
|
log it to the system log
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr logger 1 ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic exit
|
|
with an exit value of
|
|
.Ar exitval .
|
|
The error message consists of the script name
|
|
(from
|
|
.Va $0 ) ,
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Dq Li ": ERROR: " ,
|
|
and then
|
|
.Ar message .
|
|
.It Ic force_depend name
|
|
Output an advisory message and force the
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
service to start.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
argument is the
|
|
.Xr basename 1
|
|
component of the path to the script, usually
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.d/name .
|
|
If the script fails for any reason it will output a warning
|
|
and return with a return value of 1.
|
|
If it was successful
|
|
it will return 0.
|
|
.It Ic info Ar message
|
|
Display an informational message to
|
|
.Va stdout ,
|
|
and log it to the system log using
|
|
.Xr logger 1 .
|
|
The message consists of the script name
|
|
(from
|
|
.Va $0 ) ,
|
|
followed by
|
|
.Dq Li ": INFO: " ,
|
|
and then
|
|
.Ar message .
|
|
The display of this informational output can be
|
|
turned on or off by the
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va rc_info .
|
|
.It Ic load_kld Oo Fl e Ar regex Oc Oo Fl m Ar module Oc Ar file
|
|
Load
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
as a kernel module unless it is already loaded.
|
|
For the purpose of checking the module status,
|
|
either the exact module name can be specified using
|
|
.Fl m ,
|
|
or an
|
|
.Xr egrep 1
|
|
regular expression matching the module name can be supplied via
|
|
.Fl e .
|
|
By default, the module is assumed to have the same name as
|
|
.Ar file ,
|
|
which is not always the case.
|
|
.It Ic load_rc_config Ar name
|
|
Source in the configuration files for
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
First,
|
|
.Pa /etc/defaults/rc.conf
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
are sourced if they have not yet been read in.
|
|
Then,
|
|
.Va etcdir
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Pa /etc
|
|
if
|
|
.Va command Ap s
|
|
prefix (or
|
|
.Va ${name} Ns Va _program Ap s
|
|
if it is defined) is
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /usr ,
|
|
otherwise
|
|
.Va etcdir
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Pa ${prefix} Ns Pa /etc .
|
|
Once those variables are set accordingly,
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf.d/ Ns Va ${name}
|
|
is sourced if the file exists (but it is deprecated if
|
|
.Va etcdir
|
|
is different than
|
|
.Pa /etc )
|
|
and then
|
|
.Pa ${etcdir} Ns Pa /defaults/ Ns Va ${name}
|
|
and
|
|
.Va ${etcdir} Ns Pa /rc.conf.d/ Ns Va ${name}
|
|
are sourced if these files exist.
|
|
All these files may also contain other variable assignments to override
|
|
.Ic run_rc_command
|
|
arguments defined by the calling script, to provide an easy
|
|
mechanism for an administrator to override the behaviour of a given
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
script without requiring the editing of that script.
|
|
.It Ic load_rc_config_var Ar name Ar var
|
|
Read the
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable
|
|
.Ar var
|
|
for
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
and set in the current shell, using
|
|
.Ic load_rc_config
|
|
in a sub-shell to prevent unwanted side effects from other variable
|
|
assignments.
|
|
.It Ic mount_critical_filesystems Ar type
|
|
Go through a list of critical file systems,
|
|
as found in the
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va critical_filesystems_ Ns Ar type ,
|
|
mounting each one that
|
|
is not currently mounted.
|
|
.It Ic rc_usage Ar command ...
|
|
Print a usage message for
|
|
.Va $0 ,
|
|
with
|
|
.Ar commands
|
|
being the list of valid arguments
|
|
prefixed by
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.Dq Bq Li fast | force | one .
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
.It Ic reverse_list Ar item ...
|
|
Print the list of
|
|
.Ar items
|
|
in reverse order.
|
|
.It Ic run_rc_command Ar argument
|
|
Run the
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
method for the current
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
script, based on the settings of various shell variables.
|
|
.Ic run_rc_command
|
|
is extremely flexible, and allows fully functional
|
|
.Xr rc.d 8
|
|
scripts to be implemented in a small amount of shell code.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
is searched for in the list of supported commands, which may be one
|
|
of:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm restart" -offset indent
|
|
.It Cm start
|
|
Start the service.
|
|
This should check that the service is to be started as specified by
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 .
|
|
Also checks if the service is already running and refuses to start if
|
|
it is.
|
|
This latter check is not performed by standard
|
|
.Fx
|
|
scripts if the system is starting directly to multi-user mode, to
|
|
speed up the boot process.
|
|
.It Cm stop
|
|
If the service is to be started as specified by
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 ,
|
|
stop the service.
|
|
This should check that the service is running and complain if it is not.
|
|
.It Cm restart
|
|
Perform a
|
|
.Cm stop

|
|
.It Cm rcvar
|
|
Display which
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
|
variables are used to control the startup of the service (if any).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Va pidfile
|
|
or
|
|
.Va procname
|
|
is set, also support:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm restart" -offset indent
|
|
.It Cm poll
|
|
Wait for the command to exit.
|
|
.It Cm status
|
|
Show the status of the process.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Other supported commands are listed in the optional variable
|
|
.Va extra_commands .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar argument
|
|
may have one of the following prefixes which alters its operation:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Li force" -offset indent
|
|
.It Li fast
|
|
Skip the check for an existing running process,
|
|
and sets
|
|
.Va rc_fast Ns = Ns Li YES .
|
|
.It Li force
|
|
Skip the checks for
|
|
.Va rcvar
|
|
being set to
|
|
.Dq Li YES ,
|
|
and sets
|
|
.Va rc_force Ns = Ns Li YES .
|
|
This ignores
|
|
.Ar argument Ns Va _precmd
|
|
returning non-zero, and ignores any of the
|
|
.Va required_*
|
|
tests failing, and always returns a zero exit status.
|
|
.It Li one
|
|
Skip the checks for
|
|
.Va rcvar
|
|
being set to
|
|
.Dq Li YES ,
|
|
but performs all the other prerequisite tests.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ic run_rc_command
|
|
uses the following shell variables to control its behaviour.
|
|
Unless otherwise stated, these are optional.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Va procname" -offset indent
|
|
.It Va name
|
|
The name of this script.
|
|
This is not optional.
|
|
.It Va rcvar
|
|
The value of

|
is checked with
|
|
.Ic checkyesno
|
|
to determine if this method should be run.
|
|
.It Va command
|
|
Full path to the command.
|
|
Not required if
|
|
.Ar argument Ns Va _cmd
|
|
is defined for each supported keyword.
|
|
Can be overridden by
|
|
.Va ${name}_program .
|
|
.It Va command_args
|
|
Optional arguments and/or shell directives for
|
|
.Va command .
|
|
.It Va command_interpreter
|
|
.Va command
|
|
is started with:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "#! command_interpreter [...]"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
which results in its
|
|
.Xr ps 1
|
|
command being:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "command_interpreter [...] command"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
so use that string to find the PID(s) of the running command
|
|
rather than
|
|
.Va command .
|
|
.It Va extra_commands
|
|
Extra commands/keywords/arguments supported.
|
|
.It Va pidfile
|
|
Path to PID file.
|
|
Used to determine the PID(s) of the running command.

.Dl "check_pidfile $pidfile $procname"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to find the PID.
|
|
Otherwise, if
|
|
.Va command
|
|
is set, use:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "check_process $procname"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to find the PID.
|
|
.It Va procname

The environment variable

.Sq Ev flags
|
|
can be used to override this.

Overrides
|
|
.Va command

|
|
As a rule,
|
|
.Va command
|
|
should be set in the script while
|
|
.Va ${name}_program
|
|
should be set in
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 .
|
|
.It Va ${name}_user
|
|
User to run
|
|
.Va command

|
|
.Ar argument .
|
|
.It Ar argument Ns Va _precmd
|
|

.Ar argument Ns Va _cmd
|
|
or the default method for
|
|
.Ar argument .

If this returns a non-zero exit code, the main method is not performed.
|
|
If the default method is being executed, this check is performed after
|
|
the
|
|
.Va required_*
|
|
checks and process (non-)existence checks.
|
|
.It Ar argument Ns Va _postcmd
|
|
Shell commands to run if running
|
|
.Ar argument Ns Va _cmd

|
.It Va sig_stop
|
|
Signal to send the processes to stop in the default

.Va command .
|
|
.It Cm stop
|
|
Determine the PIDs of

on those PIDs.
|

|
|
instead, and does not run
|
|
.Ic wait_for_pids .
|
|
Another difference from
|
|
.Cm stop
|
|
is that
|
|
.Cm reload
|
|
is not provided by default.
|
|
It can be enabled via
|
|

|
|
if appropriate:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "extra_commands=reload"
|
|
.It Cm restart
|
|
Runs the
|
|
.Cm stop
|
|
method, then the

The startup behaviour of
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
depends upon the following checks:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
ends in
|
|
.Pa .sh ,

|
variable consisting of a daemon's name postfixed by the string
|
|
.Dq Li "_enable" .

|
When the following line is included in a script:
|
|
.Pp

|
|
variable, which should be defined by the calling script,
|
|
to construct the appropriate
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5
|
