Bug ID: 222147
Summary: rc.subr check_pidfile fails to recognise swapped out
process
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: conf
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
First of all I'm sorry for reporting this for an unsupported release, but I
strongly believe this behaviour would not change on 11.1, diff does not show
any related changes to /etc/rc.subr nor to /bin/ps
I encountered the issue in Smokeping which I reported in bug #221518. But that
is not really Smokeping-related. It seems that this can happen to any process.
So what happen is that if a daemon's main process has nothing to do it might be
swapped out and thus its details including command line won't be available to
ps anymore. Smokeping in this case becomes just "(perl)".
The result is that check_pidfile can not recognize the process.
