run-parts help text patch: msg#00281

Subject: run-parts help text patch

Hello,

The following patch updates the "run-parts" help text in Config.in,
long options are supported now.

I also want to report a problem I have with "run-parts" in bb
ifupdown:
When I want to configure a bridge interface with the external brctl
utility (bridge.o kernel module loaded), with the following lines in
/etc/network/interfaces:

iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports all

The appropiate scripts in if-up.d, if-pre-up.d, if-post-down.d
(Debian scripts) and the busybox applet "run-parts" installed.

When I do a "ifup br0" I get the following message:

# ifup br0
ifup: failed to stat component : No such file or directory

This seems to come from the run-parts applet.
Doing the same in "real" ifupdown and a "real" run-parts program, all
works correct.

I did a lot of searching in the sources, but couldn't find the
problem. Can someone else look at it?

Regards,
Eric Spakman

It is useful to set up a directory like cron.daily, where you need to
execute all the scripts in that directory.

- This implementation of run-parts does not accept long options, and
- some features (such as report mode) are not implemented.

Unless you know that run-parts is used in some of your scripts
you can safely say N here.
