Thanks a lot for the ideas. Nice script! When I know more about this product I'm sure I'll appreciate it even more... I reviewed the script and see right off the bat that there are some inconsistencies among platforms and/or versions. For example, in your script you use the trafficserver command (located in /usr/local/bin) to control the server. On my installation (Ubuntu precise 12.04) that command doesn't exist (probably because I installed it from a package). Rather, there are a series of commands in /urs/bin starting with traffic_* Somewhere else on the interwebs I saw someone say you should use traffic_manager to control the server, but there is no man page associated with the program. If I run "sudo traffic_manager start" everything seems to run properly but "sudo traffic_manager start &" or "sudo nohup traffic_manager start" a really weird thing happens.... the process continues to run but the command returns either 1 or 2 (can't remember) with a message saying it quit, and although ps ax shows the service running, users seem unable to connect (but I could be wrong about that... haven't tested thoroughly enough because I saw the error). I've also tried using traffic_line as documented here: http://trafficserver.apache.org/docs/trunk/admin/traffic-line-commands/index.en.html but no love here either. The result of the command "sudo traffic_line -L" (which the documentation would lead me to believe is to start up the service) is "error: the requested command failed" So, any additional pointers would be greatly appreciated!
