That's what I meant: when the service is called for an action (start,
stop, restart, reload, custom things), runscript will run the event()
function for all the scripts that are subscribed to that script, and then
those scripts can figure out what to do with it themselves...
And the gentoo-net scripts that I am working on will go down a
user-configurable list when certain things happen. (interface up/down, ip
address changed, etc.
The design pattern we're looking at here is events and interested parties,
and it's just a matter of defining what events we handle and how we notify
the parties.
Wout.
