I installed Xindice on a box running Solaris 5.6 and started the
server with ./start. I got an error message telling me to amend a line
in a source file, and the command for creating the addressbook
collection didn't work, so I figured I would stop the server, fix the
source file, and recompile. However, the xindiceadmin shutdown -c /db
command didn't work either, so I decided to just kill the server
process. I did this, and checked that it was indeed dead by running ps
-A. Yet when I went to run ./start again, I'm getting a message saying
that "A Xindice instance is already running with PID 15938", even
though that process doesn't show up with any of the normal Unix
process-checking commands.
Is the process *really* running, and is just hidden from commands like
ps, or was some kind of state variable set in a Xindice file when I
first started the server and because I couldn't shut it down with
xindiceadmin shutdown the variable is still set?
