[bug#59197] [PATCH 0/3] Support 'herd configuration SERVICE' to view config file

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi!

So far, to view the config file of sshd, elogind, etc., you'd have to do:

  cat /proc/PID/cmdline | xargs -0

or sometimes:

  cat /proc/PID/environ | xargs -0

and extract the config file name from there.

With this change, you can do:

  cat $(herd configuration elogind)

or similar.  Simple but convenient.

This patch series adds it to a few core services.  Adding it elsewhere
is left as an exercise to the reader.  :-)

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

  services: shepherd: Define 'shepherd-configuration-action' helper.
  services: Add Shepherd 'configuration' action to various services.
  home: services: redshift: Add 'configuration' action.
