start-stop-daemon works at command line but doesn't work in /etc/init.d script
I'm trying to get a starter script (for a ruby gem called ar_sendmail) working in /etc/init.d/ar_sendmail:
#! /bin/sh
echo "in /etc/init.d/ar_sendmail"
DIR=/home/max/work/e_learning_resource/trunk
PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
DAEMON=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ar_sendmail
DAEMON_OPTS="-e production -d --batch-size 100 --delay 150"
NAME=ar_sendmail
DESC=ar_sendmail
PID_FILE=/home/max/work/e_learning_resource/trunk/shared/log/ar_sendmail.pid
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
set -e
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon -d $DIR --start --quiet --pidfile $PID_FILE \
--exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
echo "$NAME."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
kill -TERM `cat $PID_FILE`
rm $PID_FILE
echo "$NAME."
;;
restart)
echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
kill -TERM `cat $PID_FILE`
rm $PID_FILE
sle开发者_JAVA百科ep 1
start-stop-daemon -d $DIR --start --quiet --pidfile \
$PID_FILE --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
echo "$NAME."
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
It's blowing up on the start-stop-daemon line, saying "start-stop-daemon: not found". But, when i plug the values into that line manually, and run it on the command line, it works.
My first thought was it was the shebang line but #! /bin/sh
should be right shouldn't it? It's definitely the right folder and what i use in my other /etc/init.d scripts.
My second thought was that it's sudo related: i'd been testing start-stop-daemon in non-sudo and running /etc/init.d/ar_sendmail in sudo mode. But, i can run start-stop-daemon fine with sudo as well.
Kind of stumped, any ideas?
As @Dysaster points out, you're overwriting your PATH
with this line:
PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
Because you're giving the complete pathname for your daemon, I think you probably don't even need to add /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
to your path, unless ar_sendmail
needs to execute programs in that directory without knowing their path. (That would sure be unfortunate, but easily fixed with: PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:$PATH
.)
Add a source /etc/profile
to the start of the script, so you get your path setup.
