rc script

[nyxnor]

I am trying to run Vanguards and restart/start/stop as a daemon on OpenBSD. Currently it is failing. File inside /etc/rc.d/vanguards mod 755 root:wheel

  GNU nano 5.8                                                         /etc/rc.d/vanguards                                                                    
#!/bin/ksh
#
# $OnionJuggler: Vanguards,v ${vanguards_version} $(date +%Y/%m/%d' '%H:%M:%S) rpe Exp $

tor_data_dir="/var/tor"
tor_conf_dir="/etc/tor"
daemon="${tor_data_dir}/vanguards/src/vanguards.py"
daemon_flags="--config ${tor_conf_dir}/vanguards.conf"
. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr

rc_reload=NO

rcexec="su -fl -c ${daemon_class} -s /usr/local/bin/python3 ${daemon_user} -c"

rc_start() {
       ${rcexec} "${daemon_logger:+set -o pipefail; }${daemon} ${daemon_flags}${daemon_logger:+ 2>&1 |
               logger -ip ${daemon_logger} -t ${_name}}"
}

rc_cmd $1

the error: probably because it is a python script, not shellscript

bsdm64$ doas rcctl restart -d vanguards

I have to reassign rcexec because it expects /bin/sh, which will faill of course. Alternatively, I could include a start script inside vanguards repository for calling the python interpreter.

Now if I do /etc/rc.d/vanguards

#!/bin/ksh
#
# $OnionJuggler: Vanguards,v ${vanguards_version} $(date +%Y/%m/%d' '%H:%M:%S) rpe Exp $

daemon="/usr/local/bin/vanguards"
. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr

rc_reload=NO

rc_cmd $1

and in /usr/local/bin/vanguards

#!/usr/bin/env sh

python3 /var/tor/vanguards/src/vanguards.py --config /etc/tor/vanguards.conf --logfile /var/log/vanguards

I see on /var/log/vanguards:

NOTICE[Tue Dec 21 2021]: Vanguards 0.4.0-dev1 connected to Tor 0.4.6.7 using stem 1.8.0

Fortunately it does not quit after rc fails, but it means it is connecting to vanguards at least but not working as an rc script
