Hi, I have a problem with a rc script, when I try to check or stop the service.
It is very similar to the spamd rc script (with no rc_pre() and rc_start()): $ grep -C2 pexp /etc/rc.d/{spamd,tarpitd} /etc/rc.d/spamd-. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr /etc/rc.d/spamd- /etc/rc.d/spamd:pexp="spamd: \[priv\]" /etc/rc.d/spamd-rc_reload=NO /etc/rc.d/spamd- -- /etc/rc.d/tarpitd-. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr /etc/rc.d/tarpitd- /etc/rc.d/tarpitd:pexp="tarpitd: \[priv\]" /etc/rc.d/tarpitd- /etc/rc.d/tarpitd-rc_reload=NO The start parameter works correctly: $ sudo /etc/rc.d/tarpitd -d start doing rc_read_runfile doing rc_check tarpitd doing rc_start doing rc_write_runfile (ok) $ ps aux | grep "tarpitd:" _tarpitd 22014 0.0 0.1 7176 3964 ?? Ss 10:18AM 0:00.46 tarpitd: [priv] (tarpitd) root 775 0.0 0.0 472 660 p1 I 10:18AM 0:00.00 tarpitd: (blocker) (tarpitd) seblec 6474 0.0 0.0 448 268 p1 R+/1 11:01AM 0:00.00 grep tarpitd: If I try a manual pgrep, with the same syntax as in rc.subr, it works as expected: $ pgrep -f "^tarpitd: \[priv\]" 22014 But a check or stop doesn't: $ sudo /etc/rc.d/tarpitd -d check ; echo $? doing rc_read_runfile doing rc_check 1 $ sudo /etc/rc.d/tarpitd -d stop doing rc_read_runfile doing rc_check I'm using 5.5-release What am I doing wrong?
