Hi folks, following the other Igor's lead of providing a start script for Solaris, I decided to provide one for Ubuntu/Fedora's upstart
# trafficserver - Apache Traffic Server # # is a fast, scalable and extensible HTTP/1.1 compliant # caching proxy server. description "Apache Traffic Server" start on virtual-filesystems stop on runlevel [06] expect fork respawn exec @exp_bindir@/traffic_cop & Now as it turns out this is a little too naive: Solaris' SMF uses contract(4)s to stalk processes and find out which belong together. In upstart we simply use the session id: PID PGID SID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 26499 26499 26499 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/bw/bin/traffic_cop 26504 26504 26504 ? Ssl 0:00 /opt/bw/bin/traffic_manager 26517 26504 26504 ? Sl 0:00 /opt/bw/bin/traffic_server -M -A,7:X That's right. traffic_manager starts a new setid(). I'm contemplating to remove this, so if nobody objects with reasonable reason, I'll commit this: i.galic@panic ~/Projects/asf/trafficserver (svn)-[trunk:1096618] % svn diff Index: mgmt/Main.cc =================================================================== --- mgmt/Main.cc (revision 1096618) +++ mgmt/Main.cc (working copy) @@ -485,8 +485,6 @@ time_t ticker; ink_thread webThrId; - while ((setsid() == (pid_t) - 1) && (errno == EINTR)) { - } // Set up the application version info appVersionInfo.setup(PACKAGE_NAME,"traffic_manager", PACKAGE_VERSION, i.galic@panic ~/Projects/asf/trafficserver (svn)-[trunk:1096618] % So long, i -- Igor Galić Tel: +43 (0) 664 886 22 883 Mail: i.ga...@brainsware.org URL: http://brainsware.org/
