#428 Dogtag 10: Consider creation of 'pkirespawn' hard link . . .
Closed: Invalid None Opened 11 years ago by mharmsen.

Currently, to perform a 'respawn' of a pki instance, one must invoke "pkispawn" with the "-r" option.

I would like to suggest removing the "-r" option from "pkispawn", and replace it with a hard linked copy of "pkispawn" called "pkirespawn" that would be a part of the pki-server RPM, and altering the logic to be enabled of the invocation name rather than an optional switch.


This would probably be implemented by changing the CMake logic for 'pki/base/deploy', and simply adding the new 'pkirespawn' hard link to the 'pki-core.spec' inventory for 'pki-server' as '%{_sbindir}/pkirespawn'.

pkirespawn will need to be a standalone program since it will utilize the upgrade framework proposed in http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrade rather than the deployment framework utilized by pkispawn/pkidestroy.
