Ok, that helps somewhat. But now start-stop-daemon allways starts the
script.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# debian-mirror cron script
#
# This will start the debian-mirror script to update the local debian
# mirror, unless its still running.
set -e
test -x /usr/sbin/debian-mirror || exit 0
touch /var/run/debian-mirror.pid
chown mirror.nogroup /var/run/debian-mirror.pid
touch /var/log/debian-mirror.log
chown mirror.nogroup /var/log/debian-mirror.log
start-stop-daemon -S -m -c mirror:nogroup -u mirror -p
/var/run/debian-mirror.pid -x /usr/sbin/debian-mirror
>>/var/log/debian-mirror.log &
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats how I start the script know and "ps aux" shows:
mirror 20123 0.5 0.4 2076 1044 pts/3 S 02:07 0:00 sh -e
/usr/sbin/debian-mirror
mirror 20125 0.2 0.2 1516 640 pts/3 S 02:07 0:00 rsync -rlpt
--partial -v --progress --exclude Packages --delete ftp.de.debian.org
:debian/dists/sid/Contents-i386.gz /mnt/raid/rsync-mirror/debian/dists/sid/
and cat /var/run/debian-mirror.pid:
20123
But running the script again starts a new instance:
mirror 20123 0.0 0.4 2076 1044 pts/3 S 02:07 0:00 sh -e
/usr/sbin/debian-mirror
mirror 20135 0.1 0.4 2076 1044 pts/3 S 02:07 0:00 sh -e
/usr/sbin/debian-mirror
mirror 20137 0.0 0.2 1516 696 pts/3 S 02:07 0:00 rsync -rlpt
--partial -v --progress --exclude Packages --delete ftp.de.debian.org
:debian/dists/sid/Contents-i386.gz /mnt/raid/rsync-mirror/debian/dists/sid/
mirror 20143 0.0 0.2 1516 668 pts/3 S 02:08 0:00 rsync -rlpt
--partial -v --progress --exclude Packages --delete ftp.de.debian.org
:debian-non-US/dists/sid/non-US/Contents-i386.gz
/mnt/raid/rsync-mirror/debian/non-US/dists/sid/non-US/
and cat /var/run/debian-mirror.pid:
20135
So what am I doing wrong there?
