Description Adam Nielsen 2006-10-07 02:08:52 UTC

The init.d/jit-transport initscript expects the JIT pidfile to be located in /var/log/jabber, but the ebuild doesn't create that directory during the install so JIT can't write its pidfile there.

Consequently, it's impossible to terminate JIT by running init.d/jit-transport stop - the first time it will report an error, and after that it will say JIT is not running, even though "ps -A | grep jit" clearly shows it is.

Running these extra commands during the install will fix the problem:

# mkdir /var/log/jabber
# chown jabber:jabber /var/log/jabber

It is also possible to move the pidfile elsewhere, but this requires editing the JIT config file as well as the jit-transport initscript.
