Hi! I have this little script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to start, stop and restart a daemon: adac.sh
#!/bin/sh case "$1" in start) echo -n ' adac' /usr/local/sbin/adac 4444 > /dev/null & ;; stop) /bin/kill `/bin/cat /var/run/adac.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null /bin/rm -f /var/run/adac.pid ;; restart) /bin/kill `/bin/cat /var/run/adac.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null /bin/rm -f /var/run/adac.pid sleep 5 /usr/local/sbin/adac 4444 & > /dev/null ;; *) echo "" echo "Usage: adac.sh {start|stop|restart}" echo "" exit 64 ;; esac Then I did put this in roots crontab: 10 0 * * * /usr/local/etc/rc.d/adac.sh restart The adac-daemon is restarted, but everytime the job runs it leaves a sh-zombie from the cron-job. By killing the cron-job, the sh-zombie disappears (as it should). Do anyone know why this is happening? Thanks in advance!
