pkill should solve the problem of knowing the PID. I've never had any problems just killing the slimserver. (I just send it a standard TERM signal, not a KILL, so it *should* exit gracefully by doing whatever it needs to do before actually exiting). I've never used any init script to start or stop it (I never stop it except when I'm upgrading it). Also, the best practice is to run slimserver as a non-privileged user. I've created a 'slim' user on my server for just this purpose. -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22006 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
