I am attempting to create an "rc" script to start a program I am working on=
.
I want, if possible, for the user to enter something in the rc.conf file to=
be
added to the "command" string when the program is started.
EXAMPLE:
In the rc script, this is present
command=3D/usr/local/bin/MyProg
Now, suppose the user wanted to activate logging. They could modify the rc
script and append an "-l" to the command string. However, I would rather th=
ey
entered options in the rc.conf file
I have been trying to use something like this in the re.conf file:
MyProg_append=3D"-l"
is there a way to get the script to automatically append that to the
"command" or would I have to use something like this:
command=3D/usr/local/bin/MyProg ${MyProg_append}
What happens if the variable is empty?
Thanks!
