Hi, there
It seems this basic message has already been sent, but it didn't show up
in my mailbox, so here's the rerun.
First, introduction
I'm using debian and cfengine to run a network of weather sensors for
the Applied Global Systems Lab at UNF.
I've been trying to get cfengine to take over doing a stop-start on some
processes that are running under the nohup command, but so far have been
unsuccessful.
I'm using the "shellcommands" group. Every attempt has had the result
that a manual run of cfagent --no-splay never dies until I kill the
shell commands I have run, and that the commands weren't actually
working properly, some of them died and nohup.out was not being written to.
My first attempt was to just run the command, which just failed.
My second attempt was "command owner=0 group=0", since that's what it
needed (output said it was running as
uid=gid=-1).
My third attempt was "command owner=0 group=0 useshell=false
preview=false inform=false"
My fourth attempt was "detachtty pipename command"
My fifth attempt: "screen -dmS pipename command"
Is there another strategy I can take?
Thanks
