Thanks Greg. I had noticed the 'force' option, but hadn't looked beyond
the comment: "# Force should only be used for testing purposes."
But now I see that it's a brute force replacement for the 'restart'
option. So I've given it a try on my own setup, i.e. I replaced
Code:
--------------------
result="$(sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/squeezelite restart)"
--------------------
with
Code:
--------------------
result="$(sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/squeezelite force)"
--------------------
And now - the weirdest thing - Squeezelite won't restart on my test
setup! The running process is killed, and the PIDFILE is deleted, but
the part of the init.d script that does the 'start', i.e. '$0 start',
doesn't seem to do anything. I understand that this should re-run the
init.d script with the 'start' option, and therefore I should see one of
the two echoed messages in my log file, but I see neither, and there's
no new Squeezelite process afterwards.
For reference, here's the bit of the init.d script that does the 'force'
restart:
Code:
--------------------
force)
# Force should only be used for testing purposes.
echo "Forcing a restart of $PNAME..."
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
sudo kill `cat $PIDFILE`
sudo rm -f $PIDFILE
fi
sudo ps | grep squeezelite | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' |
xargs kill -9
sleep 1
$0 start
;;
--------------------
I see the 'Forcing...' message echoed in my log file, the PIDFILE
disappears, and the squeezelite process is killed. But there's no
evidence that '$0 start' is even being triggered.
And for reference, here's the 'start' part of the init.d script - I
should at least get one of the two echoed messages in the log file.
Code:
--------------------
start)
if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
echo "$PNAME already running."
exit 1
fi
echo "Starting $DESC: $PNAME..."
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -b -m -p $PIDFILE --exec
$DAEMON -- -n "$NAME" $OUTPUT $ALSA_PARAMS $BUFFER_SIZE $_CODEC $XCODEC
$PRIORITY $MAX_RATE $UPSAMPLE $MAC_ADDRESS $SERVER_IP $LOGLEVEL $DSDOUT $VIS
$CLOSEOUT $UNMUTE $ALSAVOLUME $LIRC $POWER_GPIO $POWER_SCRIPT $OTHER
;;
--------------------
I think it's time for me to sleep on this and look at it again with a
fresh pair of eyes tomorrow.
