"Configuring" hamachi does not work on arch linux

[scrawl]

Haguichi runs "/etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi restart" to configure hamachi². In arch linux, run scripts are in /etc/rc.d and not in /etc/init.d, so nothing happens and configuring hamachi fails.

I think you should file a bug against the PKGBUILD script that installs the script in the wrong directory, see:

It doesn't install in the wrong directory. Run script directory is distribution dependant. In ArchLinux there is no /etc/init.d directory, only /etc/rc.d, where all other run scripts reside, too.

In my opinion it's a bug in haguichi, you should check if file /etc/init.d/logmein-hamachi exists, and if not, use /etc/rc.d/logmein-hamachi as script.

Long live standardization in Linux... at least Red Hat based distro's provide a symlink for /etc/init.d/ to their own default location, which is yet another path: /etc/rc.d/init.d

I've added a function to check existence of three predefined scripts directories. Let me know if you think this is satisfactory:
