Jails: An rc.d script

[William M. Grim]

Very odd, my jails.sh script was not allowed to pass or something.  So, 
I'm pasting it into this email.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Start the jails at boot-up.
# The only jails it can start properly are the ones in directories labelled
# with an IP address.
 
JAILBASE=/usr/local/var/jail
 
LS="/bin/ls"
JLS="/usr/sbin/jls"
AWK="/usr/bin/awk"
GREP="/usr/bin/grep"
HOST="/usr/bin/host"
MOUNT="/sbin/mount"
UMOUNT="/sbin/umount"
SH="/bin/sh"
JAIL="/usr/sbin/jail"
KILLALL="/usr/bin/killall"

start_jails()
{
        for JAILIP in `${LS} -1 ${JAILBASE}`; do
                ${MOUNT} -t devfs devfs ${JAILBASE}/${JAILIP}/dev
                ${MOUNT} -t procfs proc ${JAILBASE}/${JAILIP}/proc
                JAILHOST=`${HOST} ${JAILIP} | ${AWK} '{ print $5; }'`
                ${JAIL} ${JAILBASE}/${JAILIP} ${JAILHOST} ${JAILIP} 
${SH} /etc/rc
        done
}
                                                                                

stop_jails()
{
        echo "Even though you are stopping the jails, the JID may show up"
        echo "when doing \`jls\`.  This is most likely because some 
connections"        echo "are waiting to timeout."
                                                                                

        for JID in `${JLS} | ${GREP} -v JID | ${AWK} '{ print $1; }'`; do
                ${KILLALL} -j ${JID}
                echo "Killing JID: ${JID}"
        done
                                                                                

        for JAILIP in `\ls -1 ${JAILBASE}`; do
                ${UMOUNT} -f ${JAILBASE}/${JAILIP}/proc
                ${UMOUNT} -f ${JAILBASE}/${JAILIP}/dev
        done
}

case "$1" in
        start)
        start_jails
        ;;
        restart)
        stop_jails
        sleep 1
        start_jails
        ;;
        stop)
        stop_jails
        ;;
esac

Thanks again, and sorry for the confusion.
