How can I have a custom restart script for runit?

I'm using runit to manage an HAProxy and want to do a safe restart to reload a configuration file (specifically: haproxy -f /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg -sf $OLD_PROCESS_ID). I figure that I could run sv restart haproxy and tried to add a custom script named /etc/service/haproxy/restart, but it never seems to execute. How do I have a special restart script? Is my approach even good here? How do I reload my config with minimal impact using runit?

Solution

  • HAProxy runit service script

    /etc/service/haproxy/run

    #!/bin/sh
#
# runit haproxy
#

# forward stderr to stdout for use with runit svlogd
exec 2>&1

PID_PATH=/var/run/haproxy/haproxy.pid
BIN_PATH=/opt/haproxy/sbin/haproxy
CFG_PATH=/opt/haproxy/etc/haproxy.cfg

exec /bin/bash <<EOF
$BIN_PATH -f $CFG_PATH -D -p $PID_PATH

trap "echo SIGHUP caught; $BIN_PATH -f $CFG_PATH -D -p $PID_PATH -sf \\\$(cat $PID_PATH)" SIGHUP
trap "echo SIGTERM caught; kill -TERM \\\$(cat $PID_PATH) && exit 0" SIGTERM SIGINT

while true; do # Iterate to keep job running.
  sleep 1 # Wake up to handle signals
done
EOF

    Graceful reload that keeps things up and running.

    sv reload haproxy

    Full stop and start.

    sv restart haproxy
