Follow-up Comment #2, bug #81761 (project xrootd): I agree with Brian that this is the most "natural" way to handle this sort of functionality and it is what most admins would expect. All you need to do to make xrootdfs fstab compatible is to rearrange how you handle the commandline parameters. I would say that it is a lot less work than maintaining the init scripts. Not to mention the effort needed to get rid of them once we introduce them and people start to build their own monitoring functionality around them. Concerning the env vars: is there any reason why you can't pass the same information via commandline? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?81761> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by LCG Savannah http://savannah.cern.ch/
