- <div class="body"><p>If one of the points of switching to a new init system in Debian is
-<a href="http://thomas.goirand.fr/blog/?p=147">to get rid of huge
-init.d scripts</a>, I doubt we need to switch away from sysvinit and
-init.d scripts at all. Here is an example init.d script, ie a rewrite
-of /etc/init.d/rsyslog:</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-#!/lib/init/init-d-script
-### BEGIN INIT INFO
-# Provides: rsyslog
-# Required-Start: $remote_fs $time
-# Required-Stop: umountnfs $time
-# X-Stop-After: sendsigs
-# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
-# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
-# Short-Description: enhanced syslogd
-# Description: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd.
-# It is quite compatible to stock sysklogd and can be
-# used as a drop-in replacement.
-### END INIT INFO
-DESC="enhanced syslogd"
-DAEMON=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>Pretty minimalistic to me... For the record, the original sysv-rc
-script was 137 lines, and the above is just 15 lines, most of it meta
-info/comments.</p>
-
-<p>How to do this, you ask? Well, one create a new script
-/lib/init/init-d-script looking something like this:
-
-<p><pre>
-#!/bin/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
-
-#
-# Function that starts the daemon/service
-
-#
-do_start()
-{
- # Return
- # 0 if daemon has been started
- # 1 if daemon was already running
- # 2 if daemon could not be started
- start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON --test > /dev/null \
- || return 1
- start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- \
- $DAEMON_ARGS \
- || return 2
- # Add code here, if necessary, that waits for the process to be ready
- # to handle requests from services started subsequently which depend
- # on this one. As a last resort, sleep for some time.
-}
-
-#
-# Function that stops the daemon/service
-#
-do_stop()
-{
- # Return
- # 0 if daemon has been stopped
- # 1 if daemon was already stopped
- # 2 if daemon could not be stopped
- # other if a failure occurred
- start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/5 --pidfile $PIDFILE --name $NAME
- RETVAL="$?"
- [ "$RETVAL" = 2 ] && return 2
- # Wait for children to finish too if this is a daemon that forks
- # and if the daemon is only ever run from this initscript.
- # If the above conditions are not satisfied then add some other code
- # that waits for the process to drop all resources that could be
- # needed by services started subsequently. A last resort is to
- # sleep for some time.
- start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry=0/30/KILL/5 --exec $DAEMON
- [ "$?" = 2 ] && return 2
- # Many daemons don't delete their pidfiles when they exit.
- rm -f $PIDFILE
- return "$RETVAL"
-}
-
-#
-# Function that sends a SIGHUP to the daemon/service
-#
-do_reload() {
- #
- # If the daemon can reload its configuration without
- # restarting (for example, when it is sent a SIGHUP),
- # then implement that here.

-<p>It is based on /etc/init.d/skeleton, and could be improved quite a
-lot. I did not really polish the approach, so it might not always
-work out of the box, but you get the idea. I did not try very hard to
-optimize it nor make it more robust either.</p>
-
-<p>A better argument for switching init system in Debian than reducing
-the size of init scripts (which is a good thing to do anyway), is to
-get boot system that is able to handle the kernel events sensibly and
-robustly, and do not depend on the boot to run sequentially. The boot
-and the kernel have not behaved sequentially in years.</p>
