iwd on openrc

24 November 2018, 20:28:45

Hello. I'm new and trying to migrate from arch (dual booting atm)

I am currently missing several openrc start scripts to replace my crucial system daemons. The most important is for iwd. Does anyone know where I can grab an openrc start script (I tried looking through the gentoo package but couldn't find anything)

I could write my own I guess, but haven't delved into it too much yet.

The Gentoo folks have provided it, it's just a little hard to find. Below, a version adapted to Artix, use it until we put it in our repos.

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/openrc-run
# Copyright 1999-2018 Gentoo Foundation

pidfile="/run/iwd.pid"
command="/usr/lib/iwd/iwd"
command_background="yes"

depend() {
	need dbus
	keyword -shutdown
}

Thank you!

Just a quick question. I'll need to add --nointerfaces "wlan[0-9]*" as arguments to iwd; does initd use bash syntax? (Can I get away by escaping the inner " or using ' for string?)

You won't know unless you try!
