On my FreeBSD system, my apache webserver would get angry whenever I update the php & extensions ports. Requiring a bunch of other operations after the 'portmaster -a'.

Since I've been playing around with CFEngine 3, I had started to add to my "bundle agent apache", to do more than just promise config files current, process running, reloads, etc.

So, one of the first problems I had run into on FreeBSD, is that there are certain extensions that need to be in order in '/usr/local/etc/php/extension.ini'. Which is solved by using fixphpextorder.sh.

Well, fortunately when this script is run it results in a backup file of 'extensions.ini.old' which is the same age or newer than 'extennsions.ini'.

CFEngine3 can take care of it this way:

Code

g.apache is "apache22" currently on FreeBSD, and "apache2" on Ubuntu. Someday it might become "apache24" on FreeBSD.

Since I did FreeBSD first, and I'm still working on getting my one of 4 (or less) Ubuntu rolled in, I have:

g.rc_d as "/etc/rc.d" and g.lrc_d as "/usr/local/etc/rc.d" for FreeBSD. They are both set to "/etc/init.d" for Ubuntu. I also have a g.init_d for Ubuntu, but not FreeBSD. Not sure which I'll use where....I suppose if its an OS specific case, g.init_d would get used and if its not...then which ever one is the correct one for FreeBSD will get used.
