As I've been looking into this recently, I appreciate the writeup. However, it doesn't speak about runing freevo as non-root. This is rather critical imho, as it's a big chunk of code, forking lots of other stuff. I hope you agree. I was looking into using start-stop-daemon to exec the recordserver and webserver as a dedicated user, but got stuck. It seems s-s-d assumes that a daemon instance can be identified by its binary's name, but in freevo's case that's "python", and the rest is just arguments with no meaning to s-s-d. freevo 5300 14.3 0.6 24716 12652 pts/1 D 19:51 0:00 python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/helpers/webserver.py freevo 5305 14.3 0.6 25332 13008 pts/1 D 19:51 0:00 python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/helpers/recordserver.py s-s-d also supports handling daemons by checking their pids, but afaict we don't generate pid files. :-( It also seems that freevo relies on stuff being set in the environment (HOME and/or USER, afaict), and that's somewhat untraditional for damons. I can certainly see the case for it when running interactively though. Is there any way I've not discovered to control the webserver and recordserver from init.d scripts, like traditional daemons? Is there a writeup of what the freevo process expect to inherit from its parent (env, cwd, ...)? -Anders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
