The attached git patch makes the log_* functions in /lib/lsb/init-functions check $VERBOSE before outputting anything.

>From b9280a56114591c73fef9899e01aee6cf9d4a78b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Triplett <j...@joshtriplett.org> Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 16:38:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] init-functions: Check $VERBOSE before generating output from log_* This avoids the need for init scripts to check $VERBOSE before every invocation of these functions (which they sometimes forget to do, and which requires sourcing the internal-use-only /lib/init/vars.sh). Furthermore, eliminating such checks will eventually allow init systems and output multiplexers to count on unconditional invocations of log_*, so that they can always collect log data and decide what to do with it. --- init-functions | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/init-functions b/init-functions index cb8874c..36de2f5 100644 --- a/init-functions +++ b/init-functions @@ -27,6 +27,9 @@ #OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, #EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. +VERBOSE=$([ -f /lib/init/vars.sh ] && . /lib/init/vars.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo $VERBOSE) +: ${VERBOSE:=no} + start_daemon () { local force nice pidfile exec args OPTIND force="" @@ -276,10 +279,13 @@ init_is_upstart() # int log_begin_message (char *message) log_begin_msg () { - log_begin_msg_pre "$@" if [ -z "${1:-}" ]; then return 1 fi + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi + log_begin_msg_pre "$@" echo -n "$@" || true log_begin_msg_post "$@" } @@ -302,6 +308,9 @@ log_daemon_msg () { if [ -z "${1:-}" ]; then return 1 fi + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi log_daemon_msg_pre "$@" if [ -z "${2:-}" ]; then @@ -332,6 +341,9 @@ log_progress_msg () { if [ -z "${1:-}" ]; then return 1 fi + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi echo -n " $@" || true } @@ -342,6 +354,9 @@ log_end_msg () { if [ -z "${1:-}" ]; then return 1 fi + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi local retval retval=$1 @@ -372,22 +387,34 @@ log_end_msg () { } log_action_msg () { + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi log_action_msg_pre "$@" echo "$@." || true log_action_msg_post "$@" } log_action_begin_msg () { + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi log_action_begin_msg_pre "$@" echo -n "$@..." || true log_action_begin_msg_post "$@" } log_action_cont_msg () { + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi echo -n "$@..." || true } log_action_end_msg () { + if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]; then + return 0 + fi local end log_action_end_msg_pre "$@" if [ -z "${2:-}" ]; then -- 1.7.10.4
