Advenced init script and configuration generation script for iroffer dinoex

#Iroffer dinoex init script and utils

This repository contain both an init script and a configuration generation script for iroffer dinoex

The init script also work (for basic functionalities start, stop,…) with the old mainline iroffer

Init scritp

Running make install will install the initscript and create a tree view under /etc/iroffer/ corresponding to configuration generated :

• . the current dir, containing config generation script (optional but quite handy then manager severals bots)
• config/ contening generated (or static) bots config and initscript config file iroffer.default for enabling or disabling chrooting
• list/ for bots files listing
• log/ for bots logs
• pid/ for bots pids files
• state/ for bots state files
• telnet/ (optional) for bots telnet port files

Most of this files need to be under the same tree view in order to be readable/writable by iroffer then chrooted

Chroot can be enable or disabled by editing the file /etc/iroffer/config/iroffer.default. If chroot is enabled, beware of changing any path of bots config file.

If several chroot are needed, just add several init script with different names and a tree view /etc/init_script_name for each init script (and a /etc/init_script_name/config/init_script_name.default for chroot config).

Fonctionnalities

You can call /etc/init.d/iroffer command Botname to do command on botname only or just call /etc/init.d/iroffer command to do command on all bots.

The list of possible command is :

• start
• stop
• restart
• reload
• status
• reconnect (force bot to change server, handy during netsplits)
• genconf (call the generation script if used)
• telnet (can only be called with a bot name as parameter : open a telnet admin console)

Generation script

It's a quite simple python script writed from the sample config file of iroffer. Functionalities are hadded then I need them.

The file sample.py give an example of bot config generation script.

I will try to keep the script update with the last corresponding config file of the iroffer dinoex repository.

It's very handing because it's allow to share a part of the configuration (for example, the adminhost list) between severals bots. So only one file need to be edited and the conf regenerated.
