Stopping the server doesn't work either. My current start-stop-daemon call looks like:
if start-stop-daemon \ --start \ --exec $DAEMON \ -- --pid-file=$PIDFILE \ --user=$GEARMANUSER \ --daemon \ $PARAMS That means there is no option --pidfile to start-stop-daemon, but instead the --pid-file option to gearmand. Then it works. gearmand creates the pidfile which is then looked up by start-stop-daemon when stopping the server: if start-stop-daemon \ --stop \ --oknodo \ --exec $DAEMON \ --pidfile $PIDFILE A status option for the init script would also be nice :-) Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
