Ah, that's what the ''dirname'' was in there for. If I replace 'svc -d' with
'echo' in my command, the output is:
/service/qmail-send/log
/service/qmail-send
/service/qmail-smtpd
/service/qmail-popup
Your command misses the /service/qmail-send/log directory..
I don't know what you mean by '/service should all be symlinks.'
I don't have any symlinks in there; am I missing something important?
Getting svc to run on all of the directories isn't the issue; it's getting
my shutdown script to wait for all of the supervised processes to die before
exiting. If it exits, the system goes ahead and clobbers everything, syncs
the disks and sits there grinning. I was thinking there was maybe a way to
make svc exit only when the supervised process was really dead.. Or should
I poll svstat until either a couple of minutes pass or the process is down?
Thanks,
Marcus
