Plymouth Script "event" for "boot pausers" ?

[Andre "Osku" Schmidt]

Hello list,

i'm having much fun with Plymouth, thanks for making it!

was wondering if we can get information in Plymouth Script when some
tool wants to "pause" the boot process (like fsck) ?

is it technically possible ? how hard to implement ?

as i was playing with pacman[0] as progress bar, i thought it would be
cool when some tool wants to pause the boot process, a ghost would
appear (with speech bubble saying whats pausing the boot process) on the
"progress dots" in front of pacman... and when fsck is done, pacman
would continue moving and eating, also the ghost. :)

i also see in the example Script theme these, for what are they used ?

Plymouth.SetMessageFunction
Plymouth.SetDisplayNormalFunction
Plymouth.SetDisplayPasswordFunction

cheers
