ServiceManager

The ServiceManager is a part of the custom firmware. It separates new services from old ones to prevent collisions.

There are two kinds of services. Normal Services are those which have Start/Stop buttons and load/save configuration files (like SSH or Mediatomb). Generic Services are those which doesn't fit into this schema (e.g. Text-Editor, Encryption).

Normal Services are always grouped to a category. For example SSH and Telnet are grouped together to the category net. Mediatomb uses the category multimedia.

Generic Services are not grouped and therefore don't use a category.

To add new Services visit the following pages:

• Graphical User Interface in XML
• Using PHP to add logic to a GUI

(Generic) Services are addressed by a URL fragment identifier.

Normal services require a category. These services are addressed by the concatenation of the keyword 'services_' and the name of the category.

The following examples demonstrates the addressing of normal services:

http://lg-nas/en/sm/SrvMgr.php#services_net
http://lg-nas/en/sm/SrvMgr.php#services_multimedia
http://lg-nas/en/sm/SrvMgr.php#services_somethingelse

Generic services are addressed by their name. Examples:

http://lg-nas/en/sm/SrvMgr.php#editor
http://lg-nas/en/sm/SrvMgr.php#dm-crypt

The name of a service has to be unique.

All XML and PHP files are located at:

/var/www/en/sm/services_xml/
/var/www/en/sm/services_php/
