sympa: fix startup item

Reported by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) Owned by: dbevans (David B. Evans)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Port: sympa

Description

The sympa port includes these lines:

startupitem.create    yes
startupitem.start    "${prefix}/share/${name}/sympa"
startupitem.stop     "${prefix}/share/${name}/sympa"

This has been there since the port was added in r17339 but does not work anymore. The port does not install a file at the path ${prefix}/share/${name}/sympa

It's highly strange that the same script with the same (i.e. no) arguments would be used to both start and stop the server. I wonder if this ever worked.

If possible, it is preferable to use startupitem.executable instead of startupitem.start and startupitem.stop.

Good point. I'll take a look and see what works. Thanks for pointing this out.

sympa actually starts 5 separate daemon processes and provides a standard init.d script to start and stop these thus startupitem.executable isn't appropriate. There were also a few bugs in the provided script which I've fixed.

Startup item specification corrected in r129347 so that it correctly uses the provided script.

Works for me. Turned out to be a lot more involved than I expected. Doubt this ever worked before.
