Hello list, Some of my machines run BOINC, which I want to stop while doing my sync & update. For some reason, '/etc/init.d/boinc stop' often takes exactly 60s to complete instead of its normal 6-10s.
I'd like my update script to detect this condition, but I can't see how. I've tried grepping /bin/ps output, and I've tried checking for existence of a BOINC pid file, but those both tell me that BOINC is "running" while it's in the process of shutting down. Is there somewhere in /proc where this shutting-down status is held? -- Regards, Peter.
