Those are separate lines. So here it is again: #!/bin/sh pidfile=/data/haproxy.pid haproxy -db \ -f /haproxy-1.5.8/haproxy.cfg -p $pidfile \ -sf $(cat $pidfile) What i'm wondering is how this could have ever worked? since the "$(cat $pidfile) and the creation of the $pidfile are both on the same line. Is it possible that when the pidfile is concatenated for the sake of "-sf" the file does not exist or contains old pids? So my suspicion around the -sf was correct. Each time i run the haproxy command I get the following printed on the console: cat: /data/haproxy.pid: No such file or directory which seems to be a result of "-sf $(cat $pidfile)" in the command line. Has anyone successfully done this in practice? is there possibly other ways of achieving this with having to restart the haproxy process? thanks
