This walks the directory path to the file we are going to manipulate to make
sure that when we create the file and change the ownership and permissions
we are working on the same file.
Also, all non-terminal symbolic links must be owned by root. This will
keep a non-root user from making a symbolic link as described in the
bug. If root creates the symbolic link, it is assumed to be trusted.
On non-linux platforms, we no longer follow non-terminal symbolic links
by default. If you need to do that, add the -s option on the checkpath
command line, but keep in mind that this is not secure.
This fixes#201.
The "Ar" tag for the mountinfo command contained a typo (leading
space) that resulted in the tag being output verbatim; that is,
mountinfo ... .Ar mount1 mount2
rather than e.g.
mountinfo ... <mount1> <mount2>
This commit deletes the leading space to fix the output.
This fixes#204.
The BUILTINS are all surrounded by Xo...Xc tags, but the opening "Xo"
was missing from the two commands fstabinfo and mountinfo. This commit
adds them, and thereby fixes the spacing when viewed by man.
This is for #204.
Add the following variables to expose more arguments that can be passed
to start-stop-daemon or supervise-daemon:
- directory will be passed to --chdir
- error_log will be passed to --stderr
- output_log will be passed to --stdout
- umask will be passed to umask
This is for #184.
Add the ability to force-kill a service if it does not go down
successfully. Also, adjust the default wait time for an s6 service to go
down to 60 seconds.
This creates --respawn-delay, --respawn-max and --respawn-period. It was
suggested that it would be easier to follow if the options were
separated.
This is for #126.
Allow limiting the number of times supervise-daemon will attempt to respawn a
daemon once it has died to prevent infinite respawning. Also, set a
reasonable default limit (10 times in a 5 second period).
This is for issue #126.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

The want dependency is similar to the use dependency. If a service
script, for example called service1, adds "want service2" to its depend
function, OpenRC will attempt to start service2, if it exists on the
system, when service1 is started.
However, service1 will start regardless of the status of
service2.

This changes the default s6 service directory to /var/svc.d, also
it changes the code to work with the individual services instead of
forcing a rescan when a service is started or stopped.
This adds support for a chroot variable which will be passed to the
start-stop-daemon --chroot switch to runscript.sh when starting a
daemon. This also needs to be saved so it can be used in locating the
pid file when stopping the daemon.

Add documentation for the RC_SERVICE, RC_GOINGDOWN, RC_LIBEXECDIR and
RC_NO_UMOUNTS environment variables.

This was requested by Debian, because the minicom software, which is
available on Debian and other distros, has a binary named runscript. We
are keeping a backward compatibility symlink for now, but this allows
Debian or any other distro to safely remove the symlink.
