Hi! I want to run this script continuously under supervise (a tool for daemontools package):
user=daemon exec env - \ softlimit \ setuidgid "$user" \ nmeter t c l i p lf b nifi nife d60000' \ | logger -t '' nmeter prints lines like this: 14:31:00 [UU........] int 63k f 100 bio 96k 11M ifi 81k 1.1M ife 879k 192k every minute, and I want them to be logged in syslog. This works. However, I also want to be able to stop/[re]start this script using daemontools' standard utility, svc: svc -d: sends a TERM to running daemon svc -u: starts daemon if it is not running The problem is that svc -d (or manual kill -TERM) kills bash but nmeter and logger continue to run, until I kill nmeter manually. (NB: running this script manually and pressing ctrl-C kills all three processes. You need to kill bash from another terminal to see this happen) I need to run this crawling horror: user=daemon trap 'sh exit.sh' EXIT sh -c 'echo kill $$ >exit.sh exec env - \ softlimit \ setuidgid '"$user"' \ nmeter t c l i p lf b nifi nife d60000' \ | logger -t '' & wait to get behaviour I want. Is there a saner solution? -- vda _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
