[Devel] [PATCH] Better detection of used distribution in OpenVZ initscript.

[Maik Broemme]

Hi,

attached is a diff which fixes the distribution detection on my LFS
(Linuxfromscratch) system, also i guess it is more accurate now. :)

Original version:

root at bart:/etc/rc.d/init.d# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vz start
Starting OpenVZ: /etc/rc.d/init.d/vz: line 94: echo_success: command not found
Bringing up interface venet0: /etc/rc.d/init.d/vz: line 94: echo_success: command not found
Configuring interface venet0: net.ipv4.conf.venet0.send_redirects = 0
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vz: line 94: echo_success: command not found
root at bart:/etc/rc.d/init.d#

Modified version:

root at bart:/etc/rc.d/init.d# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vz start
Starting OpenVZ: 
Bringing up interface venet0: 
Configuring interface venet0: net.ipv4.conf.venet0.send_redirects = 0

root at bart:/etc/rc.d/init.d#

I guess the DISTR variable should only be set if we are really working
under that distribution. For example: On my LFS system i have
`/etc/init.d/functions' but not `/etc/redhat-release' but this file every
RedHat based distribution includes.
