[Devel] Re: [Serdev] dbtext support for serctl

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

I have played a bit with DBText serctl you provided and worked pretty 
fine. I was looking to split the serctl in several file:

sc.common - does the common operations - fifo/start/stop ...
sc.mysql - does the operations with mysql
sc.dbtext - does the operations with dbtext
sc.pgsql - does the operations with postgress

and have serctl to include the common part and one of the other files 
db-specific. The main purpose for this split is to avoid duplicated or 
too complex scripting. What do you think about?

I have cleaned up serctl_dbtext and now does only dbtext-specific 
operations, the only drawback is that it cannot check the aliases via 
fifo when adding a new user. I can commit the new serctl_dbtext, but to 
make the full split of the serctl will require some more time, I have to 
integrate also the pgsql script from Klaus Darilion.
