Bugzilla Bug 119181

When i try to restart amuled:

/etc/init.d/amuled restart

the system shows an error message:

Pentium1 ~ # /etc/init.d/amuled restart
 * Stopping aMule daemon ... [ ok ]
 * An instance of aMule webserver is already running
Pentium1 ~ # /etc/init.d/amuled start
 * Starting aMule Daemon ... [ ok ]
Pentium1 ~ #

After this error, a system command ps -ea shows two or more amuled instances
running. In order to start amuled i have to killall amuled, and now
/etc/init.d/amuled start works.

I'm using amule-2.1.0.

Does it still happen?

Reopen if so.

Thanks.

I solved the problem with a few modifications in /etc/init.d/amuled.

In the original /etc/init.d/amuled, i the old code is

restart() {
        svc_stop
        sleep 3
        svc_start
}

Seems that waiting 3 seconds is not enought to make sure the amuled and
amulegui jobs are closed,I changed the code by this:

restart() {
        svc_stop
#       sleep 3
        while `pgrep -u ${AMULEUSER} amuled >/dev/null`; do
                echo . >/dev/null;
        done
        svc_start
}

and now the restart function, after a few weeks of testing, seems that is
working ok.

Notes: actualy i'm using amule-2.1.3, not amule-2.1.0.

I think it's fixed now. Reemerge it in 2 hours or so, and the init script
should be updated.
