[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/busybox: Add crond init script

[Fiona Klute via buildroot]

The init script will be installed only if no other package provides
cron (currently that could be package/dcron). Users will need to
select a suitable location for their crontabs, using either runtime
configuration in /etc/default/crond or Busybox build
configuration. Note that crond fails to start if the crontabs
directory doesn't exist.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] package/busybox: Add ifplugd init script

[Fiona Klute via buildroot]

The init script will be installed only if no other package provides
ifplugd (currently that could be package/ifplugd). Users can configure
the interface(s) which ifplugd should watch either using
/etc/default/ifplugd (for one interface) or using per-interface
symlinks to the script in /etc/init.d (for any number of
interfaces). The action script that ifplugd runs when a link change is
detected must be supplied separately.

Signed-off-by: Fiona Klute <fiona.klute+wiwa@gmx.de>

make check-package complains about "Incorrect PIDFILE value" in the
script. To support running multiple instances I need to support
multiple (per-interface) PID files. Is there a better way to handle
that, or explicitly silence the check?

I've added:

above this line to ignore the PIDFILE warning.

And I fixed the script to use the long options.

After discussion with Arnout, we decided that our default of
/var/spool/cron didn't make sense. Indeed the crontab generally needs
to be persistent, so having it in a tmpfs as the out-of-the-box
experience didn't seem very appropriate. So we changed the default
Busybox configuration to set CONFIG_FEATURE_CROND_DIR="/etc/cron". So
of course, I dropped your comment above.

And here we create $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/cron/crontabs/ to make sure it
exists, otherwise crond doesn't start.

Re: [Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] package/busybox: Add ifplugd init script

[uuidxx]

Hello, Fiona and Thomas.

I'm currently using the 2025.02 branch. This script does not start ifplugd (Busybox's ifplugd) properly in busybox 1.37.0.

For now, I've changed this part of the code:

>	start-stop-daemon --start --background --make-pidfile \
>		--pidfile "$PIDFILE" --exec "/usr/sbin/$DAEMON" \
>		-- -n $IFPLUGD_ARGS

to this:

>	start-stop-daemon --start --background --exec "/usr/sbin/$DAEMON" \
>		-- -n $IFPLUGD_ARGS

and it starts ifplugd properly. I checked the /var/run/ directory and the file ifplugd.eth0.pid exists.
