Re: [gentoo-dev] strange gentoo shutdown sequence

[Allen D Parker <allenp@efn.org>]

We can actually probably do this in bash fairly simply (although unless
each service is started in sequence or in a seperate shellspace, it might
be a problem) parallel start + bash variables = nastiness.

for each initscript SVCNAME="apache2"
then in the actual runscript, something like this would do just fine
(imho) for 99% of what would need to be supported:

SVCHOME=`whereis ${SVCNAME} | cut -d " " -f 2`
if ${SVCNAME} != `ps aux | grep ${SVCHOME}`; then
/etc/init.d/${SVCNAME} zap &&
/etc/init.d/${SVCNAME} start
else
SVC_STATUS="alive"
fi
