well, there's an option in einit.xml that specifies the stdout and stderr files, you could try that... need to mount / r/o, though, but that should be easy with a vserver 
|
mmh, not mounted root r/o because in that case all the output is lost, using /somepath/xyz return at least the output to stderr of "einit-control power down"
with the following configuration it work fine, however there are some hacks:
- disable "einit-mount" module and provide faked mount/{system,critical}
- /bin/sleep used as a no-op server
- tweaking of einit.xml needed
einit.xml diff

diff -a einit.xml.orig einit.xml

nice hack =)
although, technically it's not a hack 
just a hint: with shell-type modules you could've used enable="/bin/true" and disable="/bin/true", instead of making a dummy module that just sleeps and needs to be revived every now and then

another nice option would be an element einit/configuration/services/virtual/monit with the same properties as daemon (at least provide) that can be used to non local daemons running.
example: we have a mysql daemon running in another chroot, /var/run/mysqld/ is bind-mounted between the various chroots, to provide mysqld it can be enough to test for the socket mysqld create:
[[ -S /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ]] && echo "hurray"
, it may be a very interesting feature also for all those people running an home network |
yes, that could be done i think
you mean something that just checks if its up and then returns OK/Failure when tried to be activated depending on the status of things like a pipe or a TCP/UDP port?
that does indeed make a lot of sense with clusters of vservers and the like...

net-dns/pdns does something strange, it start up as daemon, then use ipc to shut down, ie:
command="/usr/sbin/pdns_server --config-dir=/etc/powerdns/ --daemon=no --guardian=no"
#ps ax | grep pdns
5470 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/sbin/pdns_server --daemon=no --guardian=no --config-dir=/etc/powerdns/
<edit>without childs</edit>
disable="/usr/bin/pdns_control --config-dir=/etc/powerdns/ quit"
this is a mixed case, it's also a corner case, it's the only one I know that do it (not counting einit itself )
also the <shell> way using "--daemon=yes --guardian=yes" is perfectly fine.
Please forgot it

daemon mods dont have disable=
you need a
| Code: | <shell id="shell-pdns"
name="pdns"
provides="pdns"
requires="mount/critical:net-lo"
enable="pdns_server --daemon=yes --guardian=yes --config-dir=/etc/powerdns/"

that was the point discussed, if also <daemon> should have the "disable" <shell> equivalent,
I've edited the previous post with the services I'm adding to the local.xml right now (including the pdns one) |

well, there's prepare/cleanup, but cleanup runs after the command= was killed...
that's kind of the main difference between daemon and shell tho...

Yay, and after short review it fall in the "who care?" category, it's a rare case that can be easily solved otherwise, please forget the disable for daemon stuff. |

magnus... is sysctl handled in sysconf or do we need this module below?
| Code: | <shell id="shell-sysctl"
name="sysctl - configure kernel parameters at runtime"
provides="sysctl"
requires="sysconf"
enable="sysctl -q -p /etc/sysctl.conf"
disable="/bin/true"

i think we're going to need that as well, although i suppose it *should* be handled in sysconf sooner or later (i.e. doesn't do it yet )

okay guys -714 features new --wtf code: some cleanups, and einit will bitch about missing variables from modules, which will look something like this:
| Code: |
mdeininger@helios ~/projects/einit/einit/sandbox $ sbin/einit --sandbox --wtf
eINIT 0.15.3-svn-712: Initialising: Linux
>> parsing "etc/einit/einit.xml".
>> parsing "etc/einit/sandbox.xml".
* you didn't edit your local.xml to specify your root-filesystem.
* cannot stat device "chronos:/media/storage-1/home" from node "/home", the error was "No such file or directory".
* cannot stat device "/dev/BOOT" from node "/boot", the error was "No such file or directory".
* cannot stat device "/dev/ROOT" from node "/", the error was "No such file or directory".
* cannot stat device "host:/media/storage-1" from node "/media/storage-1", the error was "No such file or directory".
* cannot stat device "chronos:/media/storage-0" from node "/media/storage-0", the error was "No such file or directory".
* you should take your time to specify a hostname, go edit local.xml, look for the hostname-element.
* you should take your time to specify a domainname if you use NIS/YP services, go edit local.xml, look for the domainname-element.
* module: shell-net-static-eth1: undefined variable: configuration-network-interfaces-eth1/.*
* module: shell-dummy-1: undefined variable: configuration-feedback-visual-std-io/.*
* module: shell-eth0-dummy: undefined node: kernel_module_eth0
* module: shell-net-ath0: undefined node: configuration-network-wireless-ssid
* module: shell-net-static-loopback: undefined variable: configuration-network-interfaces-lo/.*
* module: shell-kern-sound: undefined node: configuration-kernel-modules-sound
* module: shell-swap: undefined node: configuration-system-swap
|
(note: you don't use --sandbox, that's just the command i ran in my test environment. just use regular --wtf )
-715: run "examine configuration" (i.e. --wtf) after any ipc call with "update configuration".

hey, just saw this change since I also wanted to remove this "gateway" rmh3093 : i am 95% sure we dont need to specify a default gw for net.lo
But I'd test if ${interface}_gateway} is empty, and if it isn't, then I'd add the default gateway. This way we could keep using the template for net-lo.
EDIT: why can't I "swith back" to the previous mode with erc switch-mode cons, givent that I'm in the default mode right now and
| in local.xml: | <mode id="cons" base="boot:first">
<enable services="audio:mpd:kern-arbitrary" />
</mode>
<mode id="default" base="cons:first:boot">
<enable services="xuser:urxvtd:printing" />
</mode> |
the comand just does nothing ::/
EDIT2: for the shell id="shell-hpiod", killall hpiod doesn't kill hpiod here, but killall -9 does, I don't know if I'm the only one in this case, but if not, this could be updated?

uhm, it's because both modes only enable stuff... so, when switching from default to cons, einit is only told to enable audio, mpd and kern-arbitrary... which is already up if you come from default...
if you want to have things disabled when switching from default to cons, try:
| Code: | <mode id="cons" base="boot:first">
<enable services="audio:mpd:kern-arbitrary" />
<disable services="xuser:urxvtd:printing" />
</mode> |
or something similar

magnus: did you see my wpa_supplicant template beginnings that I posted a few posts (maybe more than a few now) ago? that would be a nice addition to einit if you can get it working, it would be nice to have a template for (static,dhcpcd,dhclient,wpa_supplicant, bridging, bonding,tun/tap)

oh, heh, yeah you're right, sorry must've skimmed over that 
k, i'll have lots of time to chill and mess with things this evening, not to worry! =)
btw, i fixed some things with einit-control -- it should auto-enable the ansi codes, be a lot less likely to mess up and get stuck + it should return some proper error codes for scripts

| It should probably be noted somewhere that the textual feedback module only really works if you have framebuffer support. I tried booting w/ a new video card this week (old laptop died), and without fb, the textual feedback is all screwed up. |

Hm, well when a module's status is updated it adds another line instead of changing the existing one. For example, | Code: | | [ ENAB ] Audio (ALSA): <...> |
Instead of changing the [ ENAB ] to [ DISA ], it does this: | Code: | [ ENAB ] Audio (ALSA):
<...>
[ DISA ] Audio (ALSA):
<...> |
With the messages that would ordinarily show up to the right of the module name instead scrolling underneath it. IDK, maybe this old Latitude C840 is just buggy in that regard  |

ahh you are right, i didnt realize that was because of lack of frambuffer, i thought that had to do with not enough terminal columns or something

well, it is due to not enough columns on the terminal line actually =)
you could disable the use of ansi codes... that would make it look a lot less nice but it would work...
or, you could use the tty9 output on tty1 -- the one commented out in einit.xml, that uses less lines...
i'm trying to get it better by looking at the actual output resolution to get things in order...

well, I did it, this afternoon:
| Code: | <shell-template id="template-shell-net-static"
name="Network (${interface}, static)"
provides="net-${interface}"
enable="/sbin/ip addr add ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_address} dev ${interface} ;
/sbin/ip link set ${interface} up ;
/sbin/ip route add ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_network} dev ${interface} ;
if [ ! -z ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_gateway} ]; then
/sbin/ip route add via ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_gateway};
fi"
disable="/sbin/ip link set ${interface} down"
variables="configuration-network-interfaces-${interface}/.*" /> |
I've used ip from the package sys-apps/iproute2, I did not try with ifconfig & route, but the following should also work
| Code: | <shell-template id="template-shell-net-static"
name="Network (${interface}, static)"
provides="net-${interface}"
enable="/sbin/ifconfig ${interface} up ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_address};
route add -net ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_network};
if [ ! -z ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_gateway} ]; then
route add default gw ${configuration_network_interfaces_${interface}_gateway};
fi"
disable="ifconfig ${interface} down"
variables="configuration-network-interfaces-${interface}/.*" /> |
As a side note, I'd notice that the <shell-template id="template-shell-net-dhcp" doesn't set the interface down when it is disable; is it on purpose? or is its disable line just waiting to be completed?
I still have some "unmount" problems, (sometimes I've got the error message : /home/ remounted ro, and detach, but some other times, I have no error message, exept that DISABLING mount/local failed. I suspect some of my services not stopping (correctly), but how can I make einit more verbose about that?
Why do we now have two einit processes?
Why can't I think of something else to ask?

well, "remounted r/o and detached" is not an error message, actually, it's perfectly fine... mount/local actually FAIL-ing should be nearly impossible tho?
| truc wrote: | | Why do we now have two einit processes? |
that's for quite a while already...
the one as pid=1 is just to reap processes, the other is a separate process that does all the hard work... it helps to make sure einit's core doesn't reap the wrong children of itself (or rather, modules of it), so that they don't deadlock...

oh, I noticed just a few days ago for the two einit processes
Anyway, I just installed and reboot with 0.15.4-svn-722, and I need to mount /boot: | Code: | mount /boot/
Cannot create link /etc/mtab~
Perhaps there is a stale lock file? |
well, fortunatly, that doesn't prevent me from doing anything

kk, ryan: fixed that template and added it in (you only had a slight typo, you forgot an "o" in "configuration..." )
truc: thanks for that iproute2 template, added it as "template-shell-net-static-iproute2"
the original template should bring down the interfaces tho... hmm

I was talking about the template-shell-net-dhcp" which didn't shutdown the interface
