This patch adds a new driver for use of virtio-console devices as
ttys. It's still in an early state and not compiled by default, yet.
Currently it is only wired into amd64. i386 is still missing.
Discussed with uebayasi@, deraadt@
the daemon is actually running (instead of only when using rc_bg).
This *may* trigger the following side effect: if a daemon starts then stops
right away (because of a config parsing issue for e.g.), then it will slow down
the boot process because rc will wait a bit before considering the start action
failed. But at least it will allow us to detect those daemons and fix them or
their rc.d(8) script.
At least as far as I can tell, all base daemons should cope with it just fine.
ok sthen@ robert@ on an earlier diff
tell you that the daemon succesfully started; prevent this by running a config
check first.
Note that we only do this for those particular daemons, not all that support a
config test mode.
ok benno@ phessler@
default one is good enough.
So merge rc.conf(8)'s 'multicast_router' and 'multicast_host' into a
single 'multicast'. If set to YES the reject route for 224/4 is not
inserted by netstart(8).
Manual bits from jmc@
ok henning@, ajacoutot@
- Change comments to make it clearer that ifmstart() takes two lists
of interface driver names (of which the second is optional) and not
the actual interface instances.
- Use localized variables and use slightly more verbose names.
- Use continue 2 to skip to the next hostname.if file.
- Use shell pattern @() instead of testing _sif individually.
OK krw@
- Align comments with /etc/rc version
- Use localized variables
- Use safer "print -r --" instead of plain echo
Changes to ifstart():
- Tweak comment
- Add usage
OK krw@
