help needed for dinit/openrc service code

10 March 2024, 11:50:18

I made a new / better version of my AUR package alsabeep-dkms which is useful for machines without a PC Speaker. When active it uses alsa to handle terminal bells.

I have tested on aarch64 with manjaro systemd and x86_x64 with artix runit. I use the install hooks to add & remove appropriate service files.

I don't know dinit or openrc (is s6 still a thing) well enough to code up the right sort of run scripts.

I would be grateful if anyone more knowledgeable can help.

Currently all this is in this install file which checks the /bin/init link to see what kind of code it should create.

You should read up documentation.

But here is something for the lazy who don't like reading. That said, please read before pasting stuff in some generator.
