Yes! Thanks for bring this up. I wrote my own init scripts for Mandrake and Gentoo and the shutdown procedure is basically 'killall dbmail-blah'.Aaron Dan Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said:If its a daemon it needs '-p' for pidfiles. These debian init scripts are atrocious and need to get updated with pidfiles ;) Below is a somewhat modified version of what I used in siproxd. Its not very complex, just make 'pidfile = optarg' at the 'p' option and put it in some header.char *pidfile; int createpidfile(char* pidfile) { FILE *f = NULL; TRACE(TRACE_INFO,"creating PID file [%s]", pidfile); if ((f=fopen(pidfile, "w"))) { fprintf(f,"%i\n",(int)getpid()); fclose(f); } else {TRACE(TRACE_ERROR,"couldn't create new PID file: %s", strerror(errno));return(1); } return(0); } Dan Aaron Stone wrote:How about this set of command line options across the board... Common options for all DBMail utilities: -f file specify an alternative config file -q quietly skip interactive prompts -n show the intended action but do not perform it, no to all -y perform all proposed actions, as though yes to all -v verbose details -V show the version -h show this help message One option that I'd like to have on the command line for the daemons is a no-daemonize / no-fork option. This would be a great benefit for lots of debugging and testing situations. Would overloading the meaning of '-n' work? Thoughts, questions, comments?
