I'm having problems starting and stopping the jetty daemon when I
invoke /etc/init.d/jetty start/stop as root.
The problem appears to be that the recorded PID in /var/run/jetty.pid is
for the "su" command(root) and not for the process launched by "su"
running as the "jetty" user. See command sequence below which supports
this conclusion...
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
====== From /etc/init.d/jetty:
su -p -s /bin/sh $JETTY_USER \
-c "$JAVA $ARGUMENTS" >> $LOGDIR/out.log 2>&1 &
# FIX!!! How do we get the PID for the $JAVA command
# running as $JETTY_USER?
echo $! > "$PIDFILE"
======
# start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile /var/run/jetty.pid
--startas /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java
process already running.
# start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile /var/run/jetty.pid --user
jetty --startas /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java
Would start /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java .
# cat /var/run/jetty.pid
5775
# start-stop-daemon --test --start --pidfile /var/run/jetty.pid --user
root --startas /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java
process already running.
# ps -U jetty
PID TTY TIME CMD
