I have tried to restart BigBrother from cfengine (2.1.13 ) the BigBrother restart script starts some other processes in background
but these to not close the STDIN and STDERR. Now cfengine habs
infinite unless I redirect the output of The restart script.
I don't know if there is a way around it, but I believe that is expected behavior, though incorrect behavior. The programs should close STDIN and STDERR, but if they do not then things hang.
I ran into this trying to get some programs to run during system startup in initialization scripts.
The real question is: can cfengine work around this? I believe you can use a shell script to "hold" the process which doesn't close STDIN and STDERR properly.
