------- Additional Comments From [email protected] 2005-05-04 14:17 ------- > How about this ... Sounds ok to me. How about merging 2 and 3 into the following for paragraph: "Otherwise, /var/run/basename.pid shall be read in a similar fashion. If this contains one or more numeric values on the first line, these values shall be used. Optionally, implementations may use unspecified additional methods to locate the process identifiers required." > ALSO need to add something here about creating the pidfile for start_daemon. Hmm, I'm not that sure whether start_daemon needs to do so, but I think it should not do so automatically. For sure, it can be best done in the daemon itself. From Debian's `man start-stop-daemon` regarding --make-pidfile: "NOTE: This feature may not work in all cases. Most notably when the program being executed forks from its main process. Because of this it is usually only useful when combined with the --background option. More interestingly is probably the nice level (Debian --nicelevel n or -N n; SUSE: [-n ]+/-<prio>), Chroot ("-d|--chdir" vs. "-c" <chrootdir>), GID (-g|--group vs. -g) or UID (-u|--user vs. -u). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.linuxbase.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
