I am using a start-stop-daemon to make a INIT script for my script. I am using `--make-pidfile` cause my script doesnt make its own pid. I can start my script using start and pid file generates with appropriate PID. But the stop function doesnt work. I am getting return code 0 with `--oknodo` and 1 without it. If I do
ps -ef | grep perl
and
cat /home/me/mydaemon/run
I always see the same PID. I can terminate the script using
kill -15 PID.
But not with the stop function of my init script.
Whats the proper way to stop my process?
As per start-stop-daemon manual,
Quote:
|
--stop Checks for the existence of a specified process. If such a process exists, start-stop-daemon sends it the signal specified by --signal, and exits with error status 0. If such a process does not exist, start-stop-daemon exits with error status 1 (0 if --oknodo is specified). If --retry is specified, then start-stop-daemon will check that the process(es) have terminated.

I didnt find find any documentation for `--signal` itself. Like how to specify `--signal` if I want to send a SIGTERM.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
