Hi I've recently released the daemontools scripts I use to run both Asterisk and Flash Operator Panel, and a macro to tell whether today is a holiday or not and jump to different dialplan places accordingly. They are here: daemontools scripts: http://www.bisente.com/blog/2007/04/27/spanish-asterisk-y-daemontools-spanishenglish-asterisk-and-daemontools-english/?lan=english is-holiday macro:

Hello all, I have dovecot running under daemontools and I can't see dovecot-lda in action when I read the logs. I've set the logs to /dev/stderr because daemontools redirects /dev/stderr to /var/log/dovecot/current. The dovecot server works fine and I know that dovecot-lda is actually doing the delivery, because the sieve facility is working as well. I can get lda log working -but

Hi - I tried to get Daemontools and Unicorn working together a while back - there are issues on USR2 restart because of the pid change - I''m hoping someone in the community will have some understanding of this issue I documented my experience and eventual defeat here : http://log.robotarmyma.de/post/2053448029/daemontools-ubuntu-rvm-bundler-unicorn-install Any help would be received

Hi all, I'm trying to use daemontools to manage the icecast server. I've got it installed and working (with qmail) However it wont work with icecast.

Hi, I just started running RC2 on Thursday. I migrated an old Courier IMAP server, and the only issue I had was that I didn't understand how to enable quotas :) It's impressively fast, and I'm quite happy with it so far. This morning I found that dovecot had crashed, I had exceeded FreeBSD's kern.maxpipekva Has anyone successfully run dovecot under daemontools? I got it to

Hi there I'm having difficulties in getting dovecot to run under daemontools. Also, from a sysadmin perspective, so far, I find dovecot's config rather complex - I suppose that's what happens when one attempts to appease all authentication methods... anyway, I digress. System details, to set the scene: OS: Slackware Linux Linux Kernel: 2.4.29 GCC: 3.2.2 Dovecot version: 1.0.rc6

Hi all, I want to start dovecot through DJBs Daemontools-supervise, is there a configuration option that lets dovecot stay in foreground? best regards, Jens

Hi there, I''ve been playing with puppet for a couple of weeks (So, I''m still quite a newbie at it) and there is something I just can''t seem to be able to fix. I''m trying to have puppet manage daemontools service. Following the documentation <http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/types/service.html>, I added this in my puppet configuration: class

Hello, Using Puppet 2.7(.20), I''m trying to override the "restart" command of a service controlled by daemontools provider using: service { ''bamboo-agent'': hasrestart => false, provider => ''daemontools'', restart => ''/bin/touch /var/run/needs-restart'', ... } And ... notify =>

So I got my UPS working. I'm trying to get NUT to run under daemontools . upsd and upsmon all seem to stay in the foreground when I add -D to them but upsdrvctl doesn't. Does anyone know if there's a hidden switch or something to make it stay in the foreground? The reason I want to use daemontools is so that if the process crashes, daemontools will just start it right back up

Hi all, I would like to understand the meaning of "Stale mailbox lock file detected" In index-storage.c (https://mis.dopa.go.th/atmail/server_source/dovecot/src/lib-storage/index/index-storage.c) there is this notice "Stale mailbox lock file detected" ... I have a java application which connects via javamail to a dovecot server and I have some anomalies when that message

Hello, I'm trying to run smbd with djb daemontools' supervise. Here's the way I followed: # 2/6/2002 # problem running samba-2.2.4 and supervise problem: run smbd with supervise subproblem 1: smbd & nnmbd with -D option deteach from tty, so supervise cannot control them; solution 1: we can patch smb/server.c (foreground patch) to prevent deteach, but a second

Hi all, I am trying to use samba with daemontools. (and it's brother runit: http://smarden.org/runit/). I do not want to talk much about runit itself. The main point is that samba *must* run in foreground mode (no fork, no detach from terminal). It is fine up to this point. I found an option '-F' and if I start with smbd -F It will run in foreground so it's OK. But I want to

I would appreciate your opinion on a problem with sshd on Linux, when running under daemontools supervise. The configuration: sshd version OpenSSH_3.7.1p2 Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP i686 supervise / daemontools-0.76 I see the following behavior regarding groups: -bash-2.05b$ ssh mschulz at localhost id -Gn id: cannot find name for group ID 201 id: cannot find name for group ID 2039 OA3

Hi, I am having a bit of a problem with logging to stderr. I am trying to run dovecot as sort of "inetd" install using daemontools. I have daemontools 'services' named dovecot-pop3, dovecot-imap, etc. The service command line looks like tcpsvd -c20 -v -l 0 0 110 /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login [--ssl] In dovecot/dovecot.conf, the log_path is set to /dev/stderr. What seems to

hello I start dovecot via daemontools and use "dovecot -F". "doveadm stop" does correctly stop dovecot. Of course dovecot will restart not a second later. Is it possible, that "doveadm stop" detect that dovecot is started with -F an print an informational log ? I think, it's helpfull, because in this special setup "doveadm stop" can and will not do

How about adding a --no-detach option (to be used in combination with --daemon) to rsync so it can be run under Dan Bernstein's daemontools' supervise? If there's interest I'll provide a patch. -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/

Hi ! I''m using daemontools[1] to manage a few processes on my Debian box. Among other things, I use it to manage svnserve, because it uses less memory than Apache. My /service/svnserve/run looks like this: #!/bin/sh su svn -c "/usr/local/bin/svnserve --foreground --daemon --root /var/svn" Is it safe for me to run like that ? If an attacker cracks svnserve, what will they
