Thanks to help from this forum I have slimserver running on Ubuntu5.10 from the command line as root user. My problem is I can 't seem to get it running as a service daemon properly.
As root I can get it started with: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/bin/perl5.8.7 $SLIMSHORT -- --prefsfile=/etc/slimserver.pref --logfile=$LOGSHORT --daemon --pidfile=$PIDSHORT where SLIMSHORT=the path to slimserver.pl, LOGSHORT=path to the log file and PIDSHORT=path to the PID file. The problem is that I can't seem to stop or restart the service. I have tried kill and "stop-start-daemon" to no success. I have tried tart-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDSHORT --retry 5 also with no success. Any ideas? -- IPGuy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IPGuy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20203 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
