DragonFlyBSD

Hi Kevin,

Your patch is against rev 1.4. The newest one is 1.5, so the patch
won't apply cleanly. Could you please resubmit a diff against latest
HEAD.

To be on the safe side, this would be nice. A bit of awk/shell magic
should do the trick. A jls output with the same jail happens quite
often (for me at least :):

JID Hostname Path IPs
10 jail1 /usr/jail/j1 10.253.195.110
8 jail1 /usr/jail/j1 10.253.195.110

Regards,

Matthias

Ok will do.

Is that happening because one of them should be there or are both of
those running at the same time. I get that alot when I kill a jail
and then it goes away after a random interval of time, seems like
something goes around and does some garbage collection after a
fashion.

Is it appropriate to assume that identical jls entries are not a
normal mode of operation, i could easily send stop signals to both of
them.

Thanks,
Kevink

Hello Kevin,

you might want to take a look at FreeBSD's jail init script. It
allows to do what you want but doesn't have the problem with jails
that have the same name. Their solution is (was?) to save the ID
of the jail on a file when it boots and then use that to stop it.

I ported it sometime ago but at the time they had some security issues
with it and waited until they were sorted. Then i forget about the
changes and never committed it. If i recall correctly the
changes needed to jail(8) were committed, but if not, just tell me
and i'll take a look. The rest should be easy to port.

Regards.

The functionality I wanted has since been brought into dragonfly, so this can
