Can't Detach from a startup script
I'm trying to run Maple12 from my Debian box. I've hacked a startup
script together that looks like this:
Beginning of Script
==
#! /bin/sh
# Maple 12
# I hacked this script from a copy of the lisa start-up script; no
guarantees that it works properly.
# Kent West, 14 June 2007
#
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/local/Maple_Network_Tools/FLEXlm/lmgrd
OPT= -c /usr/local/Maple_Network_Tools/activate/Maple12.lic -l
/var/log/maplelicense
NAME=lmgrd
PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid
DESC=Maple License Server
USER=maple
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
set -e
case $1 in
start)
echo -n Starting $DESC:
start-stop-daemon -c $USER --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE
--exec $DAEMON -- $OPT \
/dev/null
echo $(pidof lmgrd) $PIDFILE
echo $NAME.
;;
stop)
echo -n Stopping $DESC:
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE \
--exec $DAEMON
rm -f $PIDFILE
echo $NAME.
;;
reload|force-reload)
echo Reloading $DESC configuration files.
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 1 --pidfile $PIDFILE \
--exec $DAEMON
;;
restart)
echo -n Restarting $DESC:
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE \
--exec $DAEMON
rm -f $PIDFILE
sleep 1
start-stop-daemon -c $USER --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE
--exec $DAEMON -- $OPT \
/dev/null
echo $(pidof lmgrd) $PIDFILE
echo $NAME.
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload} 2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
/End of Script
Tonight I added in the -c $USER piece under the start and restart
stanzas, because otherwise the deamon was running as root, which is not
recommended by makers of Maple. (I created a user named maple and set
the shell to /bin/false; anything else I should do to tighten the
security on that user?)
Before I made this change, I could ssh into the box, run sudo
/etc/init.d/maplelicense start, and then exit from my ssh session.
Now when I run the script, my ssh session won't let go; it just hangs
after I type exit. If I ssh in from another shell and run sudo
/etc/init.d/maplelicense stop, my first ssh session then terminates.
I see from the start-stop-daemon man page that I might can throw in a
-b to force a detachment, but is that the correct way to fix my
problem? The man page suggests that this should be a last resort.
Thanks!
