But LSB specifically provides the pidofproc function to extract the pid info. http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptfunc.html This brings me back round to what I was looking at recently -- the possibility of trying to make an LSB-conforming init script for PostgreSQL. I'm having a lot of trouble, though, trying to get either the postmaster or pg_ctl to behave well with the start_daemon function implementations available to me. Is there a fundamental mismatch there, or am I probably just missing some crucial detail? (The killproc function seems to work just fine, however, as long as I use the -p switch and give it the right signal.) And there's the usual question: is there interest in such a script? -Kevin
