Re: using ttys to restart a process

2004-08-25 Thread Richard P. Williamson
Hello,

According to ttys(5) and init(8), init will restart a process if it
is found in ttys.  

Accordingly, I've added these two lines to my ttys file:

   ttyv0 /bin/stp-server unknown on
   ttyv1 /manager/listener 4553 unknown on

The first line appears to result in what I'm looking for, ie
the stp-server runs, and if I kill it, the init process restarts
it.

The second line, however, gives me this message:

Aug 25 14:33:38 FFProRDP init: getty repeating too quickly on \
port /dev/ttyv1, sleeping 30 secs

What I'm looking for is an idea how to debug why the listener
app is choking.  /var/log/messages just repeats the 'init: getty'
line.

TIA,
rip

Hello,

4.10-RELEASE

According to ttys(5) and init(8), init will restart a process if it
is found in ttys.  I can not find, however, an example syntax for
doing just that.

Say I have a process called /usr/bin/sleeploop

# is this how it works?
sleeper /usr/bin/sleeploop -q 3000 none on insecure

?  Then, if I killall -s HUP sleeploop, it should 'magically reappear,
as if by magic', right?

Loath to have a go on this on the running system, on the off chance 
that I end up by breaking the boot sequence.

TIA,
rip
