rcR: restarting services
Hi,
Is the following something that could be included in debian?
I wanted some services to be restarted daily and I didn't wrote a cron script.
Instead I did the following.
I modified the /etc/init.d/rcS script and called the result rcR. This scripts
is almost identical to rcS except it does the following:
o it looks in the /etc/rcR.d directory
o it looks at links starting with Rxx, where xx is the sequence number
o a symlink from /etc/cron.daily to /etc/init.d/rcR is created
In /etc/rcR.d an administrator may place symlinks to processes it wants
to see restarted every day. In have for instance:
[elektron /etc/rcR.d]
$ ls -l
total 6.0K
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 9 2002 R01bind9 -> ../init.d/bind9*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 27 2001 R02ssh -> ../init.d/ssh*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Oct 27 2001 R03ntp -> ../init.d/ntp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 16 May 7 10:22 R09amavis -> ../init.d/amavis*
And that's it. It does nothing more.
(I didn't attach the script, 'cause the change to rcS is trivial)
