When starting /usr/local/etc/rc.d stuff, you cannot get past
applications that block SIGINT and don't return. You can always use
SIGQUIT, but that aborts, no further processing of rc.d is done.
The following change puts a "guarding" shell around each script. That
way, you can get past one application's start and processed with the
others.
It is somewhat ugly, hence my desire to inform you in advance. The
echo -n at the end is needed to keep /bin/sh from a wrong
optimization. The fixes I have for sh either impact efficiency or are
too complicated to push them into 3.0, IMO.
Maybe someone has a better idea, but short of using a C program to get
the same effect, I think that's the best to do for now.
# for each valid dir in $local_startup, search for init scripts matching *.sh
if [ "X${local_startup}" != X"NO" ]; then
echo -n 'Local package initialization:'
for dir in ${local_startup}; do
[ -d ${dir} ] && for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do
[ -x ${script} ] && \
(trap 'exit 1' 2 ; ${script} start ; echo -n)
# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
done
done
echo .
fi
