Hi all, Using apt-get, you can automagically install memcached. It's great as it starts a daemon and that daemon will start on boot.
Though for Christmas I need two daemons running on different ports: 11211 and 11212. I've duplicated the following files and tweaked them, so a second daemon can start. /etc/init.d/memcached -> /etc/init.d/memcached_11212 /etc/memcached.conf -> /etc/memcached_11212.conf /usr/share/memcached/scripts/start-memcached -> /usr/local/share/memcached/scripts/start-memcached Using update-rc.d the above daemon starts on boot as well (great). Now if memcached has a security update, apt-get will restart the original packaged daemon, not my second instance. How can I make my second instance upgrade friendly? Disclaimer: My new found obsession is upgrade friendliness, so my intentions are not strictly memcached related, but it's the simplest example I can think of.
