It's about keeping all info in /etc/sysconfig ?
If yes, that how about checking for agree with traditional
/etc files and new staff ? The idea, that if we have 2 sources of
system information, that it must equal. (as in theory of databases)
It is possible, do next ?
if file exists
read var from it (by sed)
compare with var in sysconfig
if [they are not equal]
do
(mail sysadmin, prompt ..)
fi
fi
And write 2 programs:
1. etc.export.sysvars
(/etc/sysconfig -> /etc/.....)
2. etc.import.sysvars
(/etc/.. -> /etc/sysconfig)
