Hi
I do not use APM, but ACPI, so if you could help me here ..
Try to change it to:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/apmd.pid \
--startas /usr/sbin/apmd -- ${APMD_OPTS}
and see if that works fine.
The difference is, it will start apmd, and then check if the pid is created ok.
fixed. thanks to Christian and Azarah for analysis. |
/etc/init.d/apmd start fails saying that another apmd is already started, and I should delete /var/run/apdm.pid if this is not correct. Found out, that apmd creates its pid-file and the option --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/apmd.pid tries to create another one fix: change to: # start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/apmd \ # --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/apmd.pid -- ${APMD_OPTS} start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/apmd -- ${APMD_OPTS}
