Bummer. When 'init' is sent to the leases helper program, the interface name is not known :'( so the helper program doesn't know which *.status file it has to read and print to stdout.
Simon came up with the following hack: "" The most obvious nasty hack to make this work would be to have a set of filesystem links to the real lease-change script, each with a different name, and configure each dnsmasq to call a unique link. The script then checks argv[0] to find the name it was called by and then transforms that into the name of the corresponding database file.
So we have something like
scripts/interface1 is a link to /lib/libvirt/lease-change- script scripts/interface2 is a link to /lib/libvirt/lease-change-script
and start dnsmasq with
dnsmasq --interface=interface1 --dhcp-script=scripts/interface1
and the script finds the basename of argv[0[:
scripts/interface1 -> interface1
and prepends the directory where the lease files are
interface1 ->leasefiles/interface1
That works in the absence on the DNSMASQ_INTERFACE variable. ""
Is this hack acceptable?
