Possible Startup Script for rpld

Description of problem: The package for the RPL boot daemon does not include an init script. It would be preferable to add rpld as a service rather than restart it manually after a reboot. The script would also stop the daemon during a shutdown.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8-0.4.beta1.fc10

How reproducible: Install rpld

Actual results: Must start RPL manually after a reboot.

Expected results: Use chkconfig to start and stop as a service based on runlevel.

Additional info: I've attached a possible script.  rpld doesn't create a rpld.pid file when it runs.  During start() I added the pidof command to create a pid file so the daemon function in /etc/init.d/functions would check to see if it is running before starting.  There's probably a better or more preferred way of doing this.  Then again, it may not even be that critical.

This continues to be an issue in fc11 with package rpld-1.8-0.5-beta1-fc11.

Comment 2 William Makowski 2009-11-22 16:10:13 UTC
Still hoping that an init script will be added to this package to automate starting and stopping of RPL.  rpld-1.8-0.6.beta1.fc12.i686 does not include a script.  The one I supplied has been working pretty well since Fedora 10.

Comment 3 William Makowski 2010-08-17 19:07:35 UTC
I changed the bug summary to a RFE.  In fc13 the package version is the same as fc12 (rpld-1.8-0.6.beta1.fc12.i686).  The script I uploaded on 2009-02-24 works with fc13.

Comment 4 William Makowski 2011-03-03 15:34:48 UTC
The Version for this request has been updated to 14. The rpld package is still rpld-1.8-0.6.beta1.fc12.i686 in fc14. The attached startup script continues to work with fc14.

Comment 9 William Makowski 2011-06-05 17:09:11 UTC
Tested install on Fedora 13, 14, and 15. The init script is okay, but rpld is not added as a service so it can't be managed using chkconfig. There needs to be a post install step in the spec file using /sbin/chkconfig --add rpld.  The startup script I supplied will automatically turn on run levels 345.  It is probably best to turn that off and leave it up to the end user.

Comment 12 William Makowski 2011-10-04 16:39:21 UTC
My apologies for taking so long to get back on testing the latest updates. It looks like I may be one of the few people that still use this package.

These are very close, but there are two items that I feel need to be changed. First in rpld.specs a line needs to be added to %preun to delete the rpld service if someone uninstalls rpld.

%preun
if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then
    /sbin/service %{name} stop >/dev/null 2>&1
    /sbin/chkconfig --del %{name}
fi

Secondly, the rpld startup script in /etc/init.d should not automatically turn on run levels 345 upon installation.  The user will need to create a /etc/rpld.conf configuration file before starting the service.  Once that is complete they can turn on the service using chkconfig for the desired runlevels.  The line to change in /etc/init.d/rpld is...

< # chkconfig:    345 80 20
> # chkconfig:    - 80 20

These two changes should make the package ready to move from testing to stable. I'm also updating the Fedora version for this request from 14 to 15.
