Openrc

Service script

Extra commands

To add additional commands we must tell openrc about it and define a function with such name:

extra_commands="cmd1"
description_cmd1="do some additional action"
cmd1() {
  ...
}

Variables reference

We set

• description="DESC TEXT" - a text which is outputed on /etc/init.d/SCRIPT describe command.
• description_CMD="CMD DESC TEXT" - a text which is outputed on /etc/init.d/SCRIPT describe command as CMD extra command description.
• extra_commands="cmd1 cmd2 ..." - add specified additional functions to a service script.

Set for us

• RC_CMD - a command/action name(e.g. start/stop/status/etc).
