Hi All,
I am working on moving vdsm.init script to vdsm-tool. But the vdsm.init script uses some of functions from /etc/init.d/functions. So I plan to re-code the /etc/init.d/functions or part of it with python code and also move it to vdsm-tool. Is it okey?
Ah thanks for asking, this is something dear to me :) Basically the init file shouldn't be in python and should look as much as possible like the standard one:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rpmdevtools.git;a=blob;f=template.init
All the rest should be moved to vdsm-tool as:
- check_port_taken - mk_data_center - mk_dom_backup - mk_upgrade_path - mk_core_path - mk_run_path - get_libvirt_conf_item - test_conflicting_conf - shutdown_conflicting_srv (on fedora this is taken care by systemd) - upstart_libvirt - start_needed_srv (on fedora this is taken care by systemd) - test_lo - free_space - test_space - bond_dev_available - load_needed_modules - test_already_running - configure_libvirt - configure_sysctl
Feel free to regroup the actions as you want (maybe it would make sense to have just one function with all the mk_* commands, etc...)
So to answer your question, no, you shouldn't need to re-code the init.d functions.
Thanks,
