Re: cfservd not creating cfservd.pid

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

I was just going off the Big Admin docs to write a cfservd and cfenvd 
startup script.  I've run into a problem where I keep starting 
multiple copies of cfservd because the pid doesn't exist.  

I've just got to stop thinking of cfservd and cfenvd as processes 
that need to be stopped and started during the normal running 
of the system.  Is this the way I should be thinking?

Cfengine does not store this because the data is in a lock database,
in
fact. But it would be easy to add if people thought it were a useful
thing. Generally speaking I would use cfengine to kill things - then
you
don't need the pid :-)
