I am having a strange issue stopping a group of services (daemons written in PHP).
OS is FreeBSD 8.1, monit version is 5.2.4.
I have tried various approaches.
I tried running it through a stopdaemon.sh which looks as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#stop a php daemon
mydaemon="$1.php"
killstring="/bin/ps -aux | /usr/bin/grep ‘php $mydaemon’ | /usr/bin/grep -v stopdaemon | /usr/bin/grep -v grep | /usr/binawk ' {print \$2}' | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/kill -s KILL && sleep 10"
eval $killstring
Running this from the command line works fine. Running it from within monit fails – not sure why.
Checking the processes which run as the stop script is called I see the following, which indicates it was called properly and with root access:
root 61480 0.6 0.0 8264 1784 ?? S 5:28PM 0:00.01 /bin/sh /root/stopdaemon.sh staledaemon
root 60597 0.0 0.1 99664 21116 ?? Ss 5:27PM 0:00.03 /usr/local/bin/php staledaemon.php
root 60598 0.0 0.1 99664 21200 ?? I 5:27PM 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/php staledaemon.php
root 61620 0.0 0.1 99664 21204 ?? S 5:28PM 0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/php staledaemon.php
Launching the script from the command line works fine. Any ideas will be deeply appreciated, since it is critical that I be able to stop the processes.
I monitor the number of processes which are running, and if they fall below a certain level I need to restart the service, since each process in the service has its own functionality.
Any assistance will be deeply appreciated.
