Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if someone would be willing to assist me adapt a Linux init
script to conform with FreeBSD-12 so that I can control Mailman3 that I
have installed.
I was thinking of relying on the one for mailman (2.1.x), but things seem a
little different.
So far this script below can start|stop mailman3 without a problem, but I'd
like a situation where it can do the same across reboots.
Please let me know what you think:
<cut>
root at gw:/opt/mailman/mm # less /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman3
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: GNU Mailman
# Required-Start: $local_fs $network
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $network
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Mailman Service
# Description: service control for Mailman
### END INIT INFO
PATH=/opt/mailman/mm/bin:/opt/mailman/mm/venv/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:
DESC="GNU Mailman service"
DAEMON=/opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman
NAME=mailman
USER=mailman3
GROUP=mailman3
# Needed by click
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
# Exit if the package is not installed
[ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0
# Load the VERBOSE setting and other rcS variables
#. /lib/init/vars.sh
# Define LSB log_* functions.
# Depend on lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) to ensure that this file is present
# and status_of_proc is working.
#. /lib/lsb/init-functions
case "$1" in
start)
[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
# use --force to remove a stale lock.
/usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON start --force
;;
stop)
[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && echo "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME"
/usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON stop
;;
status)
/usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON status
;;
reopen)
/usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON reopen
;;
restart)
log_daemon_msg "Restarting $DESC" "$NAME"
/usr/local/bin/sudo -u $USER $DAEMON restart
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|status|reopen|restart}" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac
</cut>
Thanks in advance for your input.
