https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222147 Bug ID: 222147 Summary: rc.subr check_pidfile fails to recognise swapped out process Product: Base System Version: 10.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vegeta@tuxpowered.net First of all I'm sorry for reporting this for an unsupported release, but I strongly believe this behaviour would not change on 11.1, diff does not show any related changes to /etc/rc.subr nor to /bin/ps I encountered the issue in Smokeping which I reported in bug #221518. But that is not really Smokeping-related. It seems that this can happen to any process. So what happen is that if a daemon's main process has nothing to do it might be swapped out and thus its details including command line won't be available to ps anymore. Smokeping in this case becomes just "(perl)". The result is that check_pidfile can not recognize the process. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
