I wrote a little program that I want to start as a service on Opensuse 11.3 This is from the init.d script, it starts my processes as I want but I don't get the right PID.
What am I missing?
echo "Starting DHCPALERT"
for (( i = 1; i <= $DHCP_AL_DAEMONS; i++ ))
do
var="DHCP_AL_$i"
START_CMD="exec /sbin/startproc -p "$DHCP_AL_PID_DIR"p_"$i".pid -l "$DHCP_AL_LOG_DIR"log_"$i".log "$DHCPALERT_BIN" "${!var}" &"
eval $START_CMD
echo "PID: "$!
echo "Command: "$START_CMD
done
results in
PID: 47347
Command: (/sbin/startproc -p /var/log/sthserver/dhcpalert/p_2.pid -l /var/log/sthserver/dhcpalert/log_2.log /usr/sbin/dhcpalert -i eth1 -c ./test.sh -a 00:15:5D:0A:16:07 -v )&
but pidof returns some othe pid.
If I try to execute it directly:
exec /sbin/startproc -p "$DHCP_AL_PID_DIR"p_"$i".pid -l "$DHCP_AL_LOG_DIR"log_"$i".log "$DHCPALERT_BIN" "${!var}" &
Then I get errors:
startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/dhcpalert: 1
I suppose because I don't escape the variables the right way?
This is the whole script:
