Yes, you're pretty much just repeating what I referred to as "your proposed
workaround" :)
I'd like to be able to do stuff like:
Debug("WARN", "STOPPING SERVER: %s:%s"%(ihost, ihome))
killcmds = []
try:
z2pids = open('%s/var/ZEO_SERVER-starting.pid'%ihome).read()
except:
try:
z2pids = open('%s/var/ZEO_SERVER.pid'%ihome).read()
except:
Debug("INFO", "no pid file - not running?")
z2pids = None
if z2pids:
z2pids = z2pids.split()
z2pids = filter(lambda x:x!='1', z2pids) # don't kill init :)
z2pids = ' '.join(z2pids)
killcmds.append('-kill -TERM %s 2>/dev/null'%z2pids)
if killcmds:
do_commands('stop_server', ihost, killcmds)
without having to write that as a script on the remote end. Currently we do it
that way, and it just feels inelegant :)
I think I can comfortably say the developer response to my proposal is a solid
YAGNI, so I'll move on :)
