https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D222147 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 t= hat is not really Smokeping-related. It seems that this can happen to any proce= ss. So what happen is that if a daemon's main process has nothing to do it migh= t 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. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
