Puppet users - Sep 2006 - FreeBSD startup script, can''t set pidfile

Hi,
I''ve installed puppet gem on freebsd 6.1 and wrote a simple startup 
script for puppetmasterd.  It starts fine,  but doesn''t create the 
pidfile,  so I can''t stop it.   Here is my script:

#!/bin/sh

utility_enable=${utility_enable-"NO"}
utility_flags=${utility_flags-""}
utility_pidfile=${utility_pidfile-"/var/run/puppetmasterd.pid"}

. /etc/rc.subr

name="puppetmasterd"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/local/bin/puppetmasterd"

load_rc_config $name

pidfile="${utility_pidfile}"

start_cmd="echo \"Starting ${name}.\"; /usr/bin/nice -5
${command}
${utility_flags} ${command_args}"

run_rc_command "$1"


and I have puppetmasterd_enable="YES" set in /etc/rc.conf

My script is based on a standard template from the freebsd handbook 
(11.5.1):
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-starting-services.html

When I try to stop it i get:
puppetmasterd not running? (check /var/run/puppetmasterd.pid).

the pid file doesn''t exist but puppetmasterd is running fine.

Cheers,

Are you sure you''re checking in the right place?  The default location 
(at least for now) of the puppetmasterd pid file is 
/var/puppet/run/puppetmasterd.pid.  Unless you''ve changed it in the 
config, that''s where you should be looking.

If you start puppetmasterd in verbose mode (with -v), it should say:

info: Creating PID file to /var/puppet/run/puppetmasterd.pid

With a little fiddle, this is the working script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: puppetmasterd
# REQUIRE: DAEMON
# KEYWORD: shutdown

#
# DO NOT CHANGE THESE DEFAULT VALUES HERE
# SET THEM IN THE /etc/rc.conf FILE
#
utility_enable=${utility_enable-"NO"}
utility_flags=${utility_flags-""}
utility_pidfile=${utility_pidfile-"/var/puppet/run/puppetmasterd.pid"}

. /etc/rc.subr

name="puppetmasterd"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/local/bin/puppetmasterd"

load_rc_config $name

pidfile="${utility_pidfile}"
extra_commands="restart"

start_cmd="echo \"Starting ${name}.\"; ${command}
${utility_flags}
${command_args}"
if [ "$1" = stop ] || [ "$1" = restart ]; then
 stop_cmd="echo \"Stopping ${name}.\"; kill `cat $pidfile`"
 else
fi

run_rc_command "$1"


Thanks your help Luke.

imagine the gem install of puppet if it could detect the OS with facter 
and automaticaly install the startupscript for the OS it is on !! could 
be awesome no ?

we have it for:

gentoo
freebsd
redhat
debian
...

seems interesting for a ''universal'' package eheh.
