The problem here is that urchinctl does not write a pid file by default
and I can't figure out how to make it do so.
However in reading man rc.subr, I found argument_cmd that works for me.
By setting argument_cmd, I can override the default methods called by
run_rc_command. Thus I set these three lines:
start_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start"
stop_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop"
status_cmd="/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status"
Originally, I used "$1" instead of start, stop, and status. However
this had the effect of making "restart" restart twice, once for the
start method and once for the stop method because
"/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl restart" was being run each time.
If that does work, your script should at least be able to report the
status (running or not).
I also had to set the procname variable to make the status method
available. In my case, it didn't matter to what it was set as the
urchinctl command handled the actual status reporting.
I'm assuming that, because root is running the lowest numbered
process, killing that process will kill all the children as well.
Killing the root process killed all the urchinwebd processes but left
the urchind processes hanging around. But no matter, I got things working.
Drew, I'm glad you were able to get it working. There may be a way to kill the
urchind processes as well. If you set procname to urchin, the rc.subr script
might understand that to mean any process that begins with that string. I
haven't tested it, but looking at the script (/etc/rc.subr), it appears to me
to be the case. If that doesn't work, perhaps procname urchin* would.
