Bypassing svscan

[Daniel Exbrayat]

# I use the following stuff which works fine for me

# the trick is to initialize the PATH before starting svscan because
# svscan use it to find supervise.


# svscan
#
# This service starts svscan DJBDNS utility which in turn starts the
# DJBDNS services belonging to /etc/svscan 
#
description     "service svscan daemon (part of DJBDNS tools)"

start on network_is_up
stop  on shutdown

pre-start script
   PATH="/usr/local/bin"
end script

exec /usr/local/bin/svscan /etc/svscan 

post-stop script
    for i in `ls -d /etc/svscan/*/`; do
        /usr/local/bin/svc -tx ${i}/
        /usr/local/bin/svc -tx ${i}/log/
    done
end script
#=======================================================
# by the way, I am wondering how to show status for each "DJBDNS"
# services. Something like:

status script
    for i in `ls /etc/svscan/`; do
       svstat ${i}/
       svstat ${i}/log/
    done
end script
#=======================================================
# last, how to periodically send something like (apart crontab):

svc -a /var/djbdns/dnscache

# this is to save the dnscache cache
