Please consider adding an init script

[bombadil]

Hi,

currently I am using the following init script in the Debian package. It might be useful to other distributions as well, so feel free to include it in the smcroute source.

#! /bin/sh
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          smcroute
# Required-Start:    $syslog $local_fs $network $remote_fs
# Required-Stop:     $syslog $local_fs $network $remote_fs
# Should-Start:      
# Should-Stop:       
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Static multicast router daemon
# Description:       SMCRoute is a tool to manipulate the multicast routes
#                    of the Linux kernel. It can be used as an alternative
#                    to dynamic multicast routers like mrouted in situation
#                    where static multicast routes should be maintained
#                    and/or no proper IGMP signaling exists.
### END INIT INFO

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

DAEMON_OPTS=-d

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

# Include smcroute defaults if available
if [ -f /etc/default/smcroute ] ; then
    . /etc/default/smcroute
fi

. /lib/lsb/init-functions

start() {
    local error
    local result
    log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
    error=$(start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
        --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS 2>&1)
    result=$?
    if [ "$result" = "0" -a -x /etc/smcroute/startup.sh ]; then
        /etc/smcroute/startup.sh
    else
        log_progress_msg ${error#ERRO: }
    fi
    log_end_msg $result
}

stop() {
    local error
    local result
    log_begin_msg "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
    error=$($DAEMON -k 2>&1)
    result=$?
    log_progress_msg ${error#ERRO: }
    log_end_msg $result
}

case "$1" in
  start)
    start
    ;;

    stop
    ;;
  restart|force-reload)
    #
    #   If the "reload" option is implemented, move the "force-reload"
    #   option to the "reload" entry above. If not, "force-reload" is
    #   just the same as "restart".
    #
    stop
    start
    ;;
  *)
    N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
    echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

exit 0

Sure, what should we call it, smcroute.init?

In the source tarball? What ever you like it. I would only expect it to get installed as /etc/init.d/smcroute though.
