Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
This PR enhances the nlbwmon init script with additional helper functions, logging, and new runtime/config options, while refactoring some duplicated subnet handling logic.
Changes:
- Added logging + health-check helper functions and refactored subnet expansion into a shared helper.
- Added new config-driven options (performance/debug) and introduced directory creation error handling.
- Added procd resource limits and attempted to improve interface trigger formatting.

You could collapse functions into one, 1st optional parameter log level, 2nd escapes string of message

Good suggestion. I'll refactor this into a single function with log level and message as parameters. Thanks!

Looks good, no impact on past config. Adds some safety barriers against runaway process.
Try to collapse commits into one as it is commonplace here.

Thanks for the approval! Since I am using the GitHub web interface and don't have a local Git setup ready right now, could you please squash the commits into one during the merge? I'd really appreciate it! |

Commit checks
5332e70"Enhance nlbwmon with logging, health checks, and options" — the commit message table claimsstatus_service()(rows "189-198") andstop_service()(rows "200-205") were added, but neither function exists in this commit or the final tree. The message also does not mention thatservice_triggers()was removed, which is the most consequential change in the diff. Please align the message with the actual changes (and note that the tab-separated table is not a usable commit-message format — anlbwmon:subject prefix plus a prose body is expected).85e2d43"Refactor logging functions and improve error handling" — matches the diff (merges the separate log_info/log_warn/log_error helpers into a singlelog_msg).

The /etc/init.d/nlbwmon reload command argument was dropped from this call. The signature is procd_add_interface_trigger <name> <interface> <command...>; without the command the trigger fires but runs nothing, so interface changes never trigger a reload. Restore the action:

nlbwmon does not accept these long options. Its argument parser is short-option only — getopt(argc, argv, "b:i:r:s:o:p:G:I:L:PZ") (no getopt_long), see https://github.com/jow-/nlbwmon/blob/29236be687927b0c81ee6e2642e7caa8787c4ad3/nlbwmon.c#L218 . Passing --threads/--memory-limit here (and --debug at line 124) will not enable any feature; getopt stops at the first --, so the values are treated as stray non-option args rather than tuning. nlbwmon is also single-threaded, so there is no thread-count knob to expose. Please drop add_performance_options/add_debug_mode unless you can point to the flags in nlbwmon's option table.

health_check() is defined but never called anywhere in the script, so it is dead code. If it is meant to back a status/health command, wire it into a status_service(); otherwise remove it.

Reviewed 1 new commit since 85e2d43.
e218ea5 is a clean merge of master into the branch — it does not touch net/nlbwmon/, and git diff 9587521..e218ea5 is still just the single 106/-25 change to nlbwmon.init, so nothing was smuggled in by the merge. net/nlbwmon/files/nlbwmon.init is byte-identical to the state reviewed at 85e2d43, which means the findings from that review still apply unchanged (bogus --threads/--memory-limit/--debug flags, the dropped /etc/init.d/nlbwmon reload action, the unused health_check()). Only the service_triggers() regression is re-raised inline, because its thread was resolved without the code changing.

Re-raising because the thread for this was marked resolved without a corresponding code change: service_triggers() is still deleted here, and it is the only entry point procd has for registering triggers — _procd_close_service() calls it unconditionally between _procd_open_trigger/_procd_close_trigger (procd.sh:98-102). With the function gone, the stub in rc.common runs instead and no triggers are registered, so two behaviours are lost:
procd_add_reload_trigger "dhcp" "system" "nlbwmon"— the service no longer reloads on dhcp/system/network config changes.config_foreach add_interface_trigger dhcp— which makesadd_interface_trigger()above dead code that is never called.
Restoring the function at the end of the file fixes both:

Summary
This PR significantly improves the nlbwmon init script with proper error handling,
comprehensive logging system, performance tuning capabilities, and service health monitoring.
Problem Statement
The current nlbwmon init script has several limitations:
No Logging System
No Error Handling
Code Duplication
Security Vulnerabilities
[ $value -eq 1 ]can cause shell injectionLimited Customization
No Service Monitoring
Solutions Implemented
1. Structured Logging System (Lines 11-27)
