I posted something on this earlier. I run the "services" directly,
without supervise or svscan - because after all, svscan was also
intended as an inittab replacement, and if we're using upstart it seems
silly to continue trying to use multiple "master" daemons. An example
for starting dnscache:
# dnscache
#
# This task runs the dnscache server.
start on runlevel-1
start on runlevel-2
start on runlevel-3
start on runlevel-4
start on runlevel-5
start on runlevel-6
stop on shutdown
exec envdir /var/lib/dnscache/env envuidgid dnscache \
softlimit -o250 -d "$DATALIMIT" /usr/bin/dnscache
respawn
## EOF
This works just dandy for executing dnscache. The downside is I don't know how
to perform the logging. The manpage for djb's "supervise" says it creates a
pipe between the primary service and the logger (typically the "multilog"
program for djb stuff). I've tried building a script that includes logging:
# dnscache
#
# This task runs the dnscache server.
start on runlevel-1
start on runlevel-2
start on runlevel-3
start on runlevel-4
start on runlevel-5
start on runlevel-6
stop on shutdown
script
exec 2>&1
exec envdir /var/lib/dnscache/env \
envuidgid dnscache softlimit -o250 -d "$DATALIMIT" \
/usr/bin/dnscache | \
setuidgid dnslog multilog t /var/log/djbdns/dnscache
end script
respawn
## EOF
And while dnscache runs, and multilog starts - it seems the pipe never
gets created because multilog simply opens the logfile without writing
anything. Output of "ps ax | grep 'dns'":
13593 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh -e -c exec 2>&1?exec envdir
/var/lib/dnscache/env envuidgid dnscache softlimit -o250 -d "$DATALIMIT"
/usr/bin/dnscache | setuidgid dnslog multilog t
/var/log/djbdns/dnscache? /bin/sh
13594 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/dnscache
13595 ? S 0:00 multilog t /var/log/djbdns/dnscache
Since I have no shell knowledge, I'm probably missing something basic in my
"exec" line. Any ideas?
