start-stop-daemon problems after process crash
I'm using the start-stop-daemon to control my home automation software in Gentoo. It's all based in perl and after making changes if there are any coding bugs the process ends after initialization. This causes the start-stop-daemon to think it's still running when it's not. When I try to start again I get an error of "WARNING: "mh.rc" has already been started." The only way I have found to get things going again is a reboot. Somewhere there must be something I can clear to get the start-stop-daemon to know that it is in fact NOT running.
Start command:
start-stop-daemon --start --background --exec /mh/mh/bin/mh -- -log_file="/var/log/mh.log"
Stop command:
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/mh.pid
