Hello All,
I would like to be able to start/stop a daemon called super written in
python. I placed a script called super in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory.
This script looks like the majority of the other daemons located in the
same directory with start, stop, status etc functions. When the super
daemon starts, it also starts 4 python threads. So, using gtop, I can see
that I have 6 processes started: 2 shell processes and 4 python
processes. The stop function in my super script looks like this:
stop)
echo -n "Stopping super: "
killproc super
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/super
echo -n "Stopping python threads: "
killproc python
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]
;;
The shell processes (taken care of by killproc super) kill fine. The
problem I am running into is with the command killproc python. It tries to
kill all 4 python threads but when the parent process is killed,the other
three automatically die. So I end up getting errors such as:
"/etc/init.d/super: kill: (1584)- no such pid" for each of the three pids.
Any thoughts on how to fix this or get around the three error messages?
Thanks in advance!
Rebecca
