TL;DRIs there a patch available to allow substitution of "array" parameters into the strings used for exec.prestart, exec.poststop, and the like? Longer: I'd like to be able to use array parameters in exec.* commands, but trying to do so results in jail: test-two: exec.prestart: array cannot be substituted inline A quick check of the source didn't suggest it would work, but the bash-isms ${host.interface[*]} and ${host.interface[@]} failed too. The immediate application is in creating what will be the vnet.interface(s) using netgraph on the appropriate host interfaces vnet.interface = ng0, ng1; Works well, once the interfaces are created, but I'd rather not have to define that list twice in each jail. If I could write something like: vnet.interface = ng0, ng1; host.interface = re0, re0.100; and then iterate over them in the prestart and poststop scripts to: * Create ng0 connected to re0 * Create ng1 connected to re0.100 it would be easier to maintain than having to write something like: vnet.interface = ng0, ng1; parent.interfaces = "re0 re0.100"; cloned.interfaces = "ng0 ng1"; I'm open to ideas here, including if I can somehow "write back" to vnet.interface based on exec.prestart parsing the "custom" variables. TIA, Jeff
An alternate method to coding the jail.conf vnet.interface parameter is to use the "ifconfig vnet" command to enable it and "ifconfig -vnet" command to disable it in your netgraph script that starts and stops the vnet jail. Doing so would eliminate your current desire for array processing in the jail.conf definition all together.
I use the bridge/epair method my self because its so much easier to understand. If you don't mind sharing, I sure would like to see your netgraph script for vnet jail control once you get it working.
