OK - I finally got time to look at everyone's initscripts suggestions and I wrote a short summary/critique for the wiki - please add and adapt - of course it is easier for me to be objective about others work but I have tried to be balanced - please consider it a start: http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/Discussion%20of%20improved%20network%20 initscripts
I made some diffs of Judd's proposals and I see he has added more verbosity when bring up interfaces and routes. Judd, did you see my scripts in http://dtw.jiwe.org/share/wireless/net/ (linked in the forum) this adds an ifinit () function for starting interfaces and routes and has the same verbosity as your proposals but a shorter implementation. If you see the bit I have placed on the wiki you can see a big concern is the network daemon and what is ACTUALLY up. My suggested function also uses a stat_warn that basically shows you which interfaces failed to go up with a stat_fail result and the final result for NETWORK is a stat_warn i.e. stat_done with errors. I think a lot of people would like to see a state file for each interface rather than one that should but doesn’t cover all of them Everyone please have a look at the wiki and make your modifications Phil > -----Original Message----- > From: Pierre Schmitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 10 May 2005 03:37 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [arch] Initscripts w/ Network Profiles > > Am Montag, 9.
