Gentoo Init Script (changes)

Showing changes from revision #3 to #4: Added | Removed

Here working Gentoo init script. I had to do a funny thing to get start-stop-daemon to capture the pid (so that stop kills the process).. instead of using the—daemon option on instiki, I used—background on start-stop-daemon (without both, the script does not fork with hilarious consequences). Not sure why start-stop-daemon coupled with—daemon does not work – suggestions / improvements appreciated!

#!/sbin/runscript

start() {
    ebegin "Starting instiki" 
    # Start me up!
    start-stop-daemon -v --background --start --pidfile /var/run/instiki.pid --make-pidfile  
        --exec /opt/instiki/instiki-0.10.2/instiki.rb -- --port=2500 --storage=/opt/instiki/instiki-0.10.2/storage
    sleep 5
    eend $?
}

stop() {
    ebegin $"Stopping instiki: " 
    start-stop-daemon -v --stop --pidfile /var/run/instiki.pid
    sleep 5
    eend $?
