case question

[grazinggoat]

Looking for thoughts on good programming...
in my case i want to be able to do both a stop and start with the restart
call. is it wise to have my var RUNCMD for both calls ?

case ${COMMAND} in
stop)
RUNCMD=stop
;;
start)
RUNCMD=start
;;

restart)
RUNCMD=stop
RUNCMD=start
;;
status)
RUNCMD=status
;;
esac

i solved this...

I wrapped the restart with an if

 restartll)
                        if [[ ${COMMAND} = "restart" ]]
                        then
                              ${COMMAND}="stopall"
                              sleep ${SLEEPTIME}
                              ${COMMAND}="startall"
                        fi
                        ;;
