Attached is a patch that (for me) corrects the above problem in killproc() from /lib/lsb/init-functions. It checks to see what signal type was sent. If the signal type is 1 (HUP), it does not remove the PID file.
** Attachment added: "Stop PID from being removed when HUP is sent." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10934612/init-functions.patch ** Description changed: Binary package hint: lsb-base Whilst looking in to a bug with nagios2 (see bug #174466), I think there is a bug in the killproc() sub-routine within /lib/lsb/init-functions (from the lsb-base package). If an init script calls this sub-routine to issue a HUP siginal, the PID file is removed. For example: killproc -p $THEPIDFILE $DAEMON 1 This causes an issue because the PID file is removed, even though a HUP is sent to the process and as a result, a future reload (e.g. /etc/init.d/nagios2 reload) causes two daemons to be spawned because the PID file has been removed so the daemon's init script believes the daemon has stopped. + + Package: lsb-base + Priority: required + Section: misc + Installed-Size: 76 + Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> + Original-Maintainer: Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> + Architecture: all + Source: lsb + Version: 3.1-23.1ubuntu3 + Replaces: lsb-core (<< 2.0-6), lsb (<< 2.0-6) + Depends: sed, ncurses-bin + Conflicts: lsb-core (<< 2.0-6), lsb (<< 2.0-6) + Filename: pool/main/l/lsb/lsb-base_3.1-23.1ubuntu3_all.deb + Size: 20176 + MD5sum: cfcd198d912a3ac8846b58c883c9c14a + SHA1: 2dd7a35b92fb105ca4393a418dfcc869eab9b77e + SHA256: 3c3fc72e2eb258faed465ce840c6c7601ed681cecb800df0885d741f8fd87d3f + Description: Linux Standard Base 3.1 init script functionality + The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard + core system that third-party applications written for Linux can + depend upon. + . + This package only includes the init-functions shell library, which + may be used by other packages' initialization scripts for console + logging and other purposes. + Bugs: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + Origin: Ubuntu + + This was noted in gusty.
