Bug 28681 – samba init script problem

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description sthom 2003-09-14 03:31:52 UTC]

Hi, 
 
I made a modification to the samba script for stopping the daemon. Sometimes  
the nmbd is not started and then it is not possible to stop via init script even the 
process smbd. Fixed this in the script by reading the 'ps ax' and checking the  
pid-files, too. This is working fine. Would be great if this still works in  
future ebuids.

Sascha 
 
--- my modified stop() part ----------- 
 
stop() { 
        ebegin "Stopping samba" 
        ebegin "    smbd" 
        filepsid=$(cat /var/run/samba/smbd.pid) 
        # echo "smbd should run on ps: $filepsid" 
        psid=$(ps -p $filepsid | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2) 
        # echo $psid 
        if [ "$filepsid" = "$psid" ] ; then 
                start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/samba/smbd.pid 
                result=$? 
        else 
                echo "        ...was not running." 
                echo "" > /var/run/samba/smbd.pid 
        fi 
 
        ebegin "    nmbd" 
        filepsid=$(cat /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid) 
        # echo "nmbd should run on ps: $filepsid" 
        psid=$(ps -p $filepsid | tail -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2) 
        # echo $psid 
        if [ "$filepsid" = "$psid" ] ; then 
                start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid 
                result=$(( $result + $? )) 
        else 
                echo "        ...was not running." 
                echo "" > /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid 
        fi 
        eend $result 
}
