Upgrading to 04x

In the /pkg/rc/rc_nfsd script there are two lines in the 'stp)' section that have 'killall -HUP xxxx' which I took directly from another script. The '-HUP' command is not supported in FREESCO with the 'killall' scriptin that format. It should be changed to 'killall xxxxx -HUP'

I have re-packaging and uploaded it so you can either re-install it or make the changes yourself.

I have reinstalled it. The installation goes fine. When I try to use the rc_nfsd restart it says that it is stopping the services and then does not say that it is starting. I think that the HUP just sends a signal to the programs to restart. Usually this is fine, but it isn't really what you are telling the rc script to do. I think that you want to make the script actually kill the processes and restart them. For the restart option you could use the -HUP so that the programs just re-read the config files.

Thanks for your help

I had initially considered the same thing, but trusted the existing scripting on that point. So I really don't know the answer because there are three files that are stopped and started and only the single one that is completely killed is the one checked to see if it is running before starting the services.

So on this specific topic I will accept what ever you figure out. You can remove the '-HUP' and killall will by default send a '-2' using the kill command. Or you could use '-15' or even '-9' to ensure it is really stopped. It is something to play with and let mew know how it really should be.

I repackaged the package with the changes, so if you want to install it again it should do what you are asking. I changed the stop and start sections as well. The initial script is completely designed to use just one binary, so with multiple binaries it does not work well and needed changed.

I am however curious if the package actually runs or not?

Lewis-

The package runs and works as it should. The only thing that I see is that the rpc.portmap is not stopped with the killall command. You have to use the -9 signal on that one.

thanks a million.

I did install and test the package a small amount and you are correct the rpc.portmap is a very stubborn binary to get stopped even using -9 it does not always completely stop. So I added two killall lines, one with -15 and the second with -9 just to be sure.

I just re-posted the package with all of the various refinements. It also now goes into setup at the end of the install automatically and adds the firewall rules as well.

If this version is ok then I will publish it for others to use.
