I have this strange issue.
I install lcdproc to drive a VFD in my HTPC case.
So I set it up and started it (it is working.)
However:
# rc-status | grep LCDd
LCDd [ crashed ]
But it is actually running (and the display is working):
# ps aux | grep LCDd
nobody 9353 0.0 0.1 2616 2104 ? Ss 20:30 0:00
/usr/sbin/LCDd -c /etc/LCDd.conf
I did notice that there is nothing under /run, which is likely tripping
up openrc (as in: no pid file for LCDd.)
All that is in /etc/init.d/LCDd is:
---
instance="${SVCNAME}"
name="LCDProc (${instance})"
pidfile="/run/${instance}.pid"
command="/usr/sbin/LCDd"
command_args="-c /etc/${instance}.conf"
depend() {
use g15daemon
use net
}
---
There is no entry in /etc/conf.d/ for LCDd, does it require one? More
curiously, it refers to an instance in the init.d file but I do not know
where it is pulling this information from. Does it require a symlink
(thinking something like net.lo -> net.eth0 as an example)?
Hopefully someone knows what it is trying to do and can point me in the
right direction.
