Both Jason Schoon and Giuseppe Ciotta deserve credit for this, I used elements
of both. It's been upgraded so that you can specify that a given command
should run at create, at delete, or at both using different special characters
(@, $, and * respectively). It uses the system() method of running command
lines which means you can use environment variables on the command line (it
sets $MDEV to the name of the current device being created/deleted, which is
useful if you matched it via regex), and the documentation warns that you need
a /bin/sh to make that work, so you probably want to pick a default shell.

* Changes from the previous implementation include:
* 1) Multiple '-' args are accepted as required by SUSv3. The previous

* 2) The '-u' options is required by SUSv3. Note that the specified

Here's my attempt at a mini diff applet - it's adapted from the code at
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/diff/, and only supports
unified diffs.
I've busyboxified everything to a reasonable degree, so I think the code is
suitable enough to be included, but there's still a fair bit of cleaning up
to be done.
Not buying it, eh?
I know I said new features before 1.1, but, well... (I was weak!)
The config file and hotplug modes aren't implemented yet. Might take a stab at
those tomorrow. (I _should_ go back to focusing on the bug triage list.)

This fixes the warning, and makes the binary smaller out of sheer pique.

Note: this will still fail to umount a path that contains an ' or \ character.
Is it worth the extra size to filter for that?
The second patch contains:
1) a size optimization for adduser.c
2) removes a warning about an unused variable in syslogd.c if CONFIG_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG is not set
3)cosmetic fixes for addgroup_full_usage and adduser_full_usage

Add the missing backslash at the end of the new sed doc string line.

This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

Hi,
Well, I made this patch a long time ago (08/2002) because it was a
need of a project, but had no time to send it to you. It adds support
to `autologin' option of the telnet protocol. It has been used since
made with busybox 0.60.3 at production and I had no problems with it.
I have ported it to the HEAD revision of the CVS server (20040211) and
I hope you enjoy and apply it to the official sources. :)
Thanks a lot!
I had previously provided you with a patch to help complete busybox's
props suite, but have heard no word back. Sense then I've made use of as
many of busybox's native API settings as I could find and would really
love for you to include support for this. If there is something more I
need to do to get this supported added in please let me know.
You will find in the attached file "syslog.patch" a patch which adds
config options to set at compile time the size of the circular buffer,
and some documentation update.
Hi to all,
here is a new patch for bb's devfsd. The news are:
1) Size reduction for the basic setup with no options compiled in from :
text data bss dec hex filename
10591 392 543 11526 2d06 devfsd.o
rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18536 Dec 18 21:52 devfsd.o
to:
text data bss dec hex filename
9303 392 543 10238 27fe devfsd.o
rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16528 Dec 18 22:02 devfsd.o
With this setup you should not expect much output from devfsd
( just at start or with -v) and if some error occurs it only exits 1.
To have more output enable: " Increases logging (and size)" (+1568 b).
2) The option "Adds function names to program output" was removed from config menu
and now to enable debug output you can use bb's standard option:
"Build BusyBox with Debugging symbols".
Be careful as with this option enabled a lot of data are outputted to /dev/log and/or to stderr.
3) A new option: "Enables the -fg and -np option" was added to config menu (+128 b).
BTW: option "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf" adds 268 b.
4) The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
"CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
"PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE", "MKOLDCOMPAT",
"MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".
But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!
5)Help text in usage.h was modified.
6)Something that I have forgotten..........
I've tested this for the last week on my box and it seems to work as expected.
Thanks in advance and please apply.
Ciao,
Tito
Dear list,
during my quest do pack busybox into an RPM, I've fixed a small bug
(missing \n) in dc's usage. And added two additional operations: mod and
exp/power.
Feel free to drop them.
Hi Eric
I have written a small patch for the Busybox syslogd. With this patch
one can limit the size of the messagfile. As soon as the limit is
reached the syslogd can rotate or purge the messagefile(s) on his own.
There is no necessity to use an external rotatescript.
Even if logread does something similar, its very handy to have some
messagefile after your box crash.
I wrote this patch initial vor BB 0.6x where no cron daemon was avail.
Now I adapted it for the new Version and i hope it is still useful. At
least I still use it :-)
bye
Arnd
should we rename the define into CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DMA and
use it for "set" and "get" ???
Since although CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GET_DMA is _not_ set I still
can use "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" to switch the DMA on.
Is this desireable or meant to be like that?
So how about the applied patch?
Here's a bunch of fixes for the watchdog app in busybox. This does a
couple of things:
- configurable timer duration (userspace timer duration is
usually configurable within the device drivers themselves).
- run as a daemon
- shutdown the device properly on SIGINT or SIGHUP
- clear the counter immediately instead of sleeping first
as well as updating the usage information. This has also been switched
over to getopt to deal with the optional timer duration specifier.
The changes themselves are harmless and isolated, and I've veried that
this works on sh and x86 without any problems.
- ip route flush
- different usage for telnetd in inetd mode
- changes for the default flags of the ip features
- if no /usr requested, udhcpc should use the script also without /usr.

similar error messages
