nsnotifyd rc

I tried nsnotifyd, and could imagine someone would like to run different scripts, for -for example- ins/del/upd.
So I played with the rc script that Mark made (see below), and and enabled it for multiple use.

Not sure if I will use it myself, but I thought could be useful to others.
So, this is more a suggestion that a "problem report".

Further I'm not 100% sure if my adaptions are the most adequate, though peeking at other rc scripts I think it's OK.

Can you elaborate more upon the different scripts?

You run multiple instances of nsnotifyd so you can do different things depending upon which zones are updated?
Comment 2 Leo Vandewoestijne 2019-03-05 13:39:33 UTC
Almost; different functions at different port, for example:

notify for dom.tld at port 5301 => add.sh
notify for dom.tld at port 5302 => xfr.sh
notify for dom.tld at port 5303 => del.sh

And with those scripts maintain DNS servers with limitations (like NSD that doesn't fully support DDNS, or PowerDNS which also has only partial support).

Also each server (Bind, Knot, NSD, Yadifa, PowerDNS) have it's own different remote control commands. This setup would allow to execute commands locally on a secondairy.

I have to add that I'm currently using another solution, but I thought it was a useful contribution.
However, I haven't tried it's support for metazones.
If you think it overcomplicates / rather keep it simple, then just ignore/close this report.

I tried the patch tonight.  It did not apply cleanly, so I copy/pasted.

When running with existing configurations, I get:

[dan@nsnotify:~] $ sudo service nsnotifyd restart
Stopping nsnotifyd.
Waiting for PIDS: 18077.
eval: ${${...}: Bad substitution


I have:

$ grep nsnotify /etc/rc.conf
nsnotifyd_enable="YES"
nsnotifyd_flags="-u nsnotifyd -P /var/run/nsnotifyd.pid -4 -a ...."

We don't want to break existing installs.

The rc.d script I'm running with, including debugging, is attached.

When I run this script, this is the output:

$ sudo service nsnotifyd restart
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/nsnotifyd

nsnotifyd
nsnotifyd_enable
nsnotifyd_flags
exit: Illegal number: stopping


That's not right. That's the variable, not the value.
