[TUT] ManiaPlanet Daemon (CentOS Only)

Hello

I've created a little init.d script for CentOS (Linux).
I share it here

You just need to create a file at : /etc/init.d/maniaplanet

File Content and edit:

        if [ -z $PID ]; then
            printf "%s\n" "Fail"
        else
            echo $PID > $PIDFILE
            printf "%s\n" "Ok"
        fi

        printf "%-50s" "Checking $NAME..."
        if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
            PID=`cat $PIDFILE`
            if [ -z "`ps axf | grep ${PID} | grep -v grep`" ]; then
                printf "%s\n" "Process dead but pidfile exists"
            else
                echo "Running"

Edit your post to put Code tags around the script, not Quote. That preserves the indenting and eases copy/pasting.

Hi,
i try to handle my dedicated TM²Canyon with start and stop commands.
I tried to adapt your CentOS code for my Debian, but it seems to fail with the PID.

In detail I get the server to start on system startup via an init.d-script, an updated header and an

Code: Select all

update-rc.defaults

command. The generated process returns a PID and saves it to the destinated PID-File. But when i login to the shell, i cannot stop/restart since the process ID now is different from the stored one (maybe 1307 stored and 2982 running process).

Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance ... and excuse my cryptic english - i hope someone can understand

Greetz, frog

Did you try to printout the running processes just from inside your launching shell script, and when you try to stop it?

Code: Select all

ps -aux

or something like that.

Are you detaching the daemon?

[tcq]

Try to get the actual running PID number from something like this (google wins )

Code: Select all

ps -ef | grep "keyword" | cut -f1 -d" "
OR
ps -ef | grep "KEYWORD" | awk '{print $2}'
