ninit-pidfile(8) ninit-pidfile(8)
NAME
ninit-pidfile - work around daemons that always fork
SYNOPSIS
ninit-pidfile servicename pidfile [ -H home ] command [parameters]
DESCRIPTION
ninit-pidfile is used to work around daemons that insist on forking
into the background, but that do write a correct pid file.
ninit-pidfile forks the actual service, then waits for the pidfile to
be written. Once it can read the pid from the pidfile it will tell
ninit the real pid and quit.
OPTIONS
servicename
the name of the service ninit-pidfile is installed for
pidfile
the filename to read the pid from
command
the real command to start
parameters
additional parameters for the command
-H home
the home of ninit. Default: /etc/ninit
USAGE
With ninit you can prepare a service and if it forks and writes the PID
in some file then type in the service directory:
echo /path/to/deamon.pidfile > pidfile
For apache this looks like:
cd /etc/ninit/apache
echo /var/run/apache.pid > pidfile
Don't use hard or soft links here!
Then ninit will start apache using ninit-pidfile
