OT: How to recursively call a script?
I've got a Solaris box, and I need to remotely restart the
ssh daemon. On Debian, most init scripts have a "restart"
option. Solaris apparently doesn't (what's with that?!).
The script looks roughly like this:
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
'start')
Ê /usr/local/sbin/sshd
Ê ;;
'stop')
Ê {code to stop the PID of sshd}
Ê ;;
esac
I'd like to add a stanza like:
'restart')
Ê /etc/init.d/sshd stop
Ê /etc/init.d/sshd start
;;
just before the "esac". However, when I run the script
(locally, not ssh'd in), the sshd daemon starts, but never
starts again. I'm not scripting wizard, so I may be doing
something obviously wrong, but it seems like it out to
work.
Secondly, assuming the script is made to work, will it work
remotely, or will the process be killed when the sshd
daemon goes down because it's a process spawned from
an incoming ssh connection that's a "sub-process" of that
sshd daemon?
I know, I know. it's a Solaris question, so I should be
asking on a Solaris list. But you guys are awesome, and
it's Debian that gave me the idea to do a restart anyway,
so hope you'll forgive the OT question.
Thanks!
