Hi I use an sysv type init and start and stop the mersenne
from the rc.d directory.
The script is as follows:
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/mersenne, added to the respective rc.n directories with
chkconfig)
#!/bin/sh
#
# mersenne
#
# chkconfig: 2345 10 50
# description: mersenne
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
action "Starting mersenne: " su - -c /home/mersenne/startmprime mersenne
touch /var/lock/subsys/mersenne
;;
stop)
action "Stopping Mersenne" killall mprime
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/mersenne
;;
restart|reload)
$0 stop;
$0 start;
;;
*)
# do not advertise unreasonable commands that there is no reason
# to use with this device
echo "Usage: mersenne {start|stop|restart|reload}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
the /home/mersenne/startmprime script is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/mersenne
./mprime -B -A0
./mprime -B -A1
By killing it relatively early in the shutdown sequence I know for sure that
mprime has enough time to shut down before the generic kills are sent.
(kill and killall sends SIGTERM by default)
Kind Regards, Martijn
