Yes, I guess it could be used. I was not aware of this function and have not used myself in my init.d scripts (might have to take a look at it). If I have time I can try to rewrite/retest it with pidofproc. > Is it not the job of start-stop-daemon to tell that the process is > already running? Yes, but start-stop-daemon does not distinguish whether it a) run the process or b) did not run it because it was already running. I prefer to have this information in the init.d script so as to not give a false impression to the user telling him you started the process when, actually, you didn't need to (or have to). > The remaining looks fine for me. Thanks for your patch. You are welcome. Regards Javier
