It uses the string from pexp (as it was when the daemon was _started_; changes to the rc script after startup are ignored) with pgrep(1) -xf to identify the running process (and pkill -xf to actually signal it). > I can confirm that the pid I see in /var/run/opensearch/opensearch.pid is the > same I see in ps ax | grep opensearch > > However when I want to stop the process > # /etc/rc.d/opensearch stop > Nothing happens Show the contents of /var/run/rc.d/opensearch and the output of some pgrep command that identifies the process (e.g. pgrep -lf opensearch). > And I don't understand how this stop command would do something like that > # kill -15 `cat /var/run/opensearch/opensearch.pid` rc.d doesn't use pid files. If the daemon exited without cleaning the file (e.g in a crash) the pid may have been re-used by another process. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
