-----------------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
> pidfile is never written, "/etc/init.d/cassandra stop" fails
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-6239
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6239
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Faidon Liambotis
>
> The init script tries, via start-stop-daemon, to write a pidfile to
> /var/run/cassandra/cassandra.pid. /var/run/cassandra doesn't exist
> (righftully so, /var/run can be a tmpfs), so the init script has this stanza
> above the start-stop-daemon invocation:
> {code:none}
> [ -e `dirname "PIDFILE"` ] || \
> install -d -ocassandra -gcassandra -m750 `dirname $PIDFILE`
> {code}
> The first line is missing the dollar sign before the PIDFILE variable (i.e.
> it should be 'dirname "$PIDFILE"'). This has the effect that "dirname
> PIDFILE" is called, with the PIDFILE as a literal, which always returns "."
> as the output, which always exists, so the "install" call never gets
> executed, the directory never gets created and start-stop-daemon is unable to
> write the pidfile.
> The pidfile is never written and "/etc/init.d/cassandra stop" never works.
> Adding a $ before PIDFILE fixes the issue. This has been tested.
