1 Hi to all !
2
3 On unixes it's quite common, that if some daemon started from
4 init rc scripts fails, it's possible to re/start it paintless by hand
5 again ...
6 ( but not on Gentoo ? )
7
8 Let's try this:
9
10 #pkill -9 some_daemon
11
12 #/etc/init.d/some_daemon start (or restart)
13
14 You'll get stupid message "running already" and
15 the command fails with no action ... :o)
16
17 so probably stop is needed before ;-)
18
19 #/etc/init.d/some_daemon stop
20
21 You'll get message "not running", but if you try start it
22 again, stupid message comes again ! :-(
23
24 It's getting me really very nervous ... :-(
25
26 PS.
27 When I switched from RH to Gentoo, the first thing
28 I was worry about were rc init scripts, because I can
29 only hardly to imagine something better then system 5 ones...
30 let's try to convince me I am wrong :-)
