In my use cases I have find other ways for running code for different
"LOCATION". To be more generic let's call it conf as a short for
configuration. I use switchconf for changing things that don't depend
on location.
Usually you need to run things before and after the change. Instead
of creating a new directory to store scripts. Why not recycle
before.d and after.d? During the switch, file
/var/lib/misc/switchconf.lastcfg have the name of the old conf.
If I start calling the scripts with the new conf. You have all the
information you may need:
- $1=NextConf
- `cat /var/lib/misc/switchconf.lastcfg`=OldConf.
This way the only change is on the loop that call the scripts
# executing each scripts before
for r in `find ${conf_top_dirs}/${exec_dir_before} -type f -perm +1 | sort`; do
echo -n "Executing $r .. ";
echo "------------- Executing $r -----------------" >> ${logfile}
${r} ${conf} 2>&1 >> ${logfile}
^^^^^^^^^
echo "done.";
done
