pidfilehack

pidfilehack(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    pidfilehack(8)

NAME

       pidfilehack - work around daemons that always fork

SYNOPSIS

       pidfilehack servicename pidfile command [parameters]

DESCRIPTION

       pidfilehack is used to work around daemons that insist on forking into the background, but that do write a correct pid file.

       pidfilehack  forks  the	actual	service,  then waits for the pidfile to be written. Once it can read the pid from the pidfile it will tell
       minit the real pid and quit.

USAGE

       usually pidfilehack is symlinked as run command of a service.

       servicename
	      the name of the service pidfilehack is installed for.

       pidfile
	      the filename to read the pid from

       command
	      the real command to start

       parameters
	      additional parameters for the command

	      A typical use of this command will look like this:

       /etc/minit/apache

       /etc/minit/apache/params
	      apache
	      /var/run/apache.pid
	      apachectl
	      start

       /etc/minit/apache/run
	      -> /sbin/pidfilehack

AUTHOR

       minit was written by Felix von Leitner and can be downloaded from his page at http://www.fefe.de/minit/

       This manpage was written by Erich Schubert <erich@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system.
