new package idea: RunLast QPKG

Post by OneCD »

Here's a chance for those who have not created QPKGs before to build something new! :D

Problem:
QTS executes [autorun.sh] before re-integrating installed QPKGs. So, running shell-scripts in [autorun.sh] that depend on QPKGs is painful.

There is clearly a need to run shell-scripts during NAS startup, but only after all QPKGs have been re-integrated.

Solution(?):
A new QPKG that performs two basic functions:
  1. process a list of executable shell-script files in a directory,
  2. alter [/etc/config/qpkg.conf] on shutdown to ensure this new package is loaded last during the next NAS startup.
Both functions are separately available in the create-autorun.sh script and the SortMyQPKGs package. This new package would combine script elements from these two.

I'm happy to offer support (if needed) for anyone willing to build it. Please adopt this project by posting here registering your interest. It would be great to see someone new build this instead of the same old crowd. ;)

If there are no takers by the December holidays, I'll throw something together.

Please add your package icon suggestions below. The challenge is to find or create a simple image that generally means "run last". :P

package icon ideas:
  • wooden spoon
  • ribbon with "last place"
  • horse and jockey ambling across the finish line
