Try: start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/puppet/puppetd.pid --verbose Maybe it will be more helpful. Manual page start-stop-daemon(8): -K, --stop Checks for the existence of a specified process. If such a pro‐ cess exists, start-stop-daemon sends it the signal specified by --signal, and exits with error status 0. If such a process does not exist, start-stop-daemon exits with error status 1 (0 if --oknodo is specified). If --retry is specified then start-stop-daemon will check that the process(es) have termi‐ nated. -p, --pidfile pid-file Check whether a process has created the file pid-file. My guess would be that you need more arguments, perhaps "--name"? -- Marcin Owsiany <mar...@owsiany.pl> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 "Every program in development at MIT expands until it can read mail." -- Unknown --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
