I am running nfs-common from woody. I was trying to modify the /etc/init.d/nfs-common script to write the pid file of statd/lockd on startup.
Does this syntax look correct, I just need to add in a --pidfie to start-stop-deamon to have a pidfile written for the process, correct? Assuming I have defined LOCKDPID and STATDPID. start) cd / # daemons should have root dir as cwd printf "Starting $DESC:" printf " statd" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $LOCKDPID \ --exec $PREFIX/sbin/rpc.statd if [ "$NEED_LOCKD" = yes ] then printf " lockd" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $STATDPID \ --exec $PREFIX/sbin/rpc.lockd fi echo "." ;; stop) printf "Stopping $DESC:" if [ "$NEED_LOCKD" = yes ] then printf " lockd" start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --pidfile $LOCKDPID \ --name rpc.lockd --user 0 fi printf " statd" start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --pidfile $STATDPID \ --name rpc.statd --user 0 echo "." ;; -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
