Re: supervise question

[David Dahl]

I think i know what is wrong...

here is the output of svstat /service/*:
(i ran this as an unpriveleged user)
=

svstat /service/*
/service/log: unable to open supervise/ok: access denied
/service/qmail-pop3d: unable to open supervise/ok: access denied
/service/qmail-send: unable to open supervise/ok: access denied
/service/qmail-smtpd: unable to open supervise/ok: access denied
/service/run: unable to chdir: not a directory
/service/supervise: unable to chdir: access denied


I have some files in /service that are not soposed to be there...


This was my first try setting up qmail...  my second try was much 
better (on another linux mandrake machine), it has none of these 
problems.

my next step is vmailmgr and oMailadmin...  any pitfalls to be aware 
of?  I have already read the howto and some of the docs...


Thanks!

David Dahl

That looks like a report from Mandrake's security manager (I assume that's
what you're running on that box).

Check the output of:

svstat /service/*

If you see one or more services up for 0 seconds, that's the service you
want to check out -- it's failing to start properly.

hmm, iam not really sure what produces this output, probably a firewall 
programm are something like that.
What kind of OS are you running ? Which firewall software are you using ?
does qmail itself work ?
what's the output of supervise running in foreground ?

supervise question

[lluisma]

Hi all,

I have this entry for qmail-pop3d which is under supervise:
#!/bin/sh

exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host.name.gov \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

It is working but when I check with svstat the pid always changes every
second or less.

Thanks for any help.

supervise question

[Jeff Carneal]

Sorry if this has been discussed before.  Only thing I could find related
was a short thread on running sshd with supervise.

I'm trying to supervise a daemon that forks and detaches itself from the
TTY, but supervise appears to be trying to restart it every second.  The
daemon I want to supervise has no switch to tell it not to detach from the
TTY, so is there anything I can do to use supervise with this daemon?

Also, what is the major factor in this scenario...is the problem that the
parent immediately forks, or that it detaches from the TTY.  It would seem
that supervise could simply watch the parent and restart it...so I'm
inclined to think the fork (without exit) isn't the real problem.  Am I
wrong?
