[Pdns-dev] Patch: fix use of 'cut' in suffix detection in pdns/pdns.in

[Brielle Bruns]

Hello all,

Noticed a problem with the initscript included in the latest pdns server 
svn trunk - when starting the service, it improperly detects there being 
a suffix (/etc/init.d/pdns).

In the older pdns init script which uses:

suffix=`basename $0 | awk -F- '{print $2}'`

The script starts pdns with the following options:

/usr/sbin/pdns_server --daemon --guardian=yes

With the newer initscript, the suffix detection uses:

suffix=`basename $0 | cut -d- -f2-`

Which starts pdns with:

/usr/sbin/pdns_server --config-name=pdns --daemon --guardian=yes

And causes pdns to not read its config file in /etc/pdns/pdns.conf cause 
its looking for the wrong file.

Fix is pretty easy - either go back to using awk, or use the attached 
patch which fixes the issue:

suffix=`basename $0 | cut -d- -f2- -s --output-delimiter=`


Thanks!
