Ubuntu start-stop-daemon problem
I have been using Gentoo, and the following command gives me the status of a program I have running as a daemon:
Code:
start-stop-daemon --signal SIGUSR1 --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE How do I send a command besides start or stop to a daemon? TIA Jim BTW The reason for the switch is that I could not get the video and networking on my Toshiba Satellite working, but Ubuntu handles then out of the box (disc?) |
To answer my own question,
add --stop to the command, and change SIGUSR1 to USR1. It's rather poor, I think, to require --stop when the intent is *not* to terminate the process. |
