Unfortunately you cannot trust the output of /etc/init.d/<servicename>, |
| 7 |
start-stop-daemon plain sucks and lies in your face. I often resort to |
| 8 |
ugly hacks using ps and grepping for (hopefully) unique strings and |
| 9 |
writing a valid pidfile myself. |
| 10 |
There are various solutions (daemontools, supervisor) which run the |
| 11 |
started program as a childprocess..., of course the init scripts need to |
| 12 |
be rewritten for those... |
