Thanks for taking a look in that much detail. I'd love to agree with your final statement, but I've been very careful to make sure that the pidfile and the process stay in sync. My current test script avoids the init.d script altogether - it starts Squeezelite manually (it doesn't use 'sudo', but since it's called by udev the process is owned by root anyway), and the pidfile is created with 'sudo bin/echo...' (perhaps the sudo isn't necessary for the same reason that the script is run under udev). So with everything in sync, the default 'kill' is NOT able to kill the process, whereas /bin/kill IS. In both cases, the kill command is being called directly by the udev script (i.e. without invoking the start-stop-daemon) in response to the DAC being unplugged, And of course there's the other thorny little complication that the behaviour of 'start-stop-daemon stop' is different on my Pi4B, where it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113661 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
