Package: smstools Version: 3.0.2-4 Severity: important Error description:
NOTE: Please forward to upstream as this is very important, if "smsd"
is run fom a ordinary user and NOT RUNING FORM /etc/init.d/.
Since I must run smsd from another tool and as ordinary user, I have
encontered that "smsd" ignores the "pidfile" setting. Exactly, I run
it as 'smsd -c ~/.tdsmsdaemon/smsd.conf' where I have
"pidfile=/home/michelle.konzack/.tdsmsdaemon/smsd.pid" which is written
correctly but now I can run
smsd -c ~/.tdsmsdaemon/smsd.conf &
smsd -c ~/.tdsmsdaemon/smsd.conf &
smsd -c ~/.tdsmsdaemon/smsd.conf &
smsd -c ~/.tdsmsdaemon/smsd.conf &
and I get as much smd-processe I have configured in multipe times...
Also smsd does not report any errors in the logfile because several
"smsd" trying to access /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/ttSy3
Also if one modem is hanging, and you try to kill the "smsd" processes
with
killall -SIGTERM smsd

2007-06-24 22:15:21,2, smsd: Smsd main program terminated.
As you can see, the main programm and the two modem handle get the
SIGTERM signal and should go away, but only modem handler 0,2,3 and the
main program terminate but modem handler 1 is missing.
The modem handler for the faulty modem refuse to go to hell. You need
for this pig
killall -SIGKILL smsd
Note: I had over 800 modem handler as "zombies" running while I was
developing my "tdsmsdaemon" which is an Add-On for "smstools".
