[jira] [Commented] (RANGER-210) Ranger service should tell it's Software verison

["Gautam Borad (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-210?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14264512#comment-14264512 ] 

Gautam Borad commented on RANGER-210:
-------------------------------------

Currently Ranger provides the following binaries to start/stop ranger :
{noformat}ranger-admin/ews/start-ranger-admin.sh
ranger-admin/ews/stop-ranger-admin.sh{noformat}

Ranger also provides init.d scripts to start/stop ranger:
{noformat}service ranger-admin start
service ranger-admin stop{noformat}

Now for telling the version should we have yet another binary ({{ranger-admin-version}})? OR do we provide it as part of init.d scripts so user can do {{service ranger-admin version}} ( not seen this behavior much with *nix services )

I would suggest we club the functionality of start/stop/version into a single ranger-admin.sh and take command line argument to invoke the required functionality. This will give us the following functionalities from single script :
# ranger-admin.sh start
# ranger-admin.sh stop
# ranger-admin.sh restart
# ranger-admin.sh --version OR ranger-admin.sh version

Please let me know your thoughts.
