Greetings I am an absolute beginner with systemd. I came across the gentoo systemd script ( http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Systemd ) for mysql-daemon. It has these lines:-
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ExecStop=/bin/kill -15 $MAINPID PIDFile=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid I am curious and puzzled about two things. a) What is $MAINPID which I have seen in so many systemd scripts i.e. where is is set? or how is it determined? b) what are the advantages or disadvantaes of the following line ExecStop=/bin/kill -15 $(/bin/pidof mysqld) over ExecStop=/bin/kill -15 $MAINPID thanks in anticipation regards lluxInteg _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
