Description

Mapguide 3.0.0 centos 6 64bit.

AFAIK log_daemon_msg and log_end_msg are not defined in Centos 6 even if lsb package is installed.

A possible solution would be to define them at the beginning of mapguide script, so they are eventually overwritten by sourcing /lib/lsb/init-functions

In this version I've tried to purge the script from "bashisms", to make it runnable under dash

This is the service control script in its current form:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/trunk/MgDev/Server/src/Core/mapguidectl

What changes could you suggest that would allow this script to work seamlessly on both CentOS and Ubuntu?

I'm not really an expert on the topic.

"log_daemon_msg" may be replaced with a simple "echo -n" (as in other init scripts).

"log_end_message" gives different results in debian/ubuntu whether the argument is 0 or greater than 0 and usually is used with the exit code of a previous command. If called with 0 it shows a success message, otherwise a failure message.

However in our script it is always called with 0 as argument, so it may be replaced by "log_success_msg" which is supported on both ubuntu and centos.

The proposed file try to address the following problems:

  • define log_end_msg if not defined in lsb functions (as in Centos 6)
  • define status and restart actions
  • exit with failures if something goes wrong
  • warn user if trying to start MapGuide and it is already running
  • warn user if trying to stop MapGuide and it is not running

I've not tested it throughly in Ubuntu
