https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5633

           Summary: --pidfile option for rsync daemon
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: arekm@maven.pl
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


This is feature request. 

Please add ability to specify different pid file at cmdline time so it will be
able to run multiple daemons with different options specified only at cmdline
time and the same config file (so no need to duplicate config file just to
change some options.

Something like --pidfile /tmp/other.pid

------- Comment #1 from wayned@samba.org  2008-07-27 18:37 CST -------
The latest code in the git repository now has a general option that allows the
user to specify config overrides via the command line.  This lets you specify
the pidfile like this:

rsync --daemon --dparam pidfile=/tmp/other.pid

or

rsync --daemon -M pidfile=/tmp/other.pid

You can adjust any global or default value using that option, and it will
supersede a global/default value in the config file (but will not supersede an
explicitly specified module value in a module's definition).

Could this be backported to 3.0.x (3.0.4) ?

Created an attachment (id=3425)
 --> (https://bugzilla.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=3425&action=view)
The --dparam (-M) daemon option for 3.0.4.

The 3.0.x branch is only getting bugfixes, so it won't be getting this new
feature.  It is easy to turn the recent git check-in into a patch that can be
manually applied to 3.0.4pre1, though (it just needed some minor tweaks).
