Re: {bb} Scripting BB startup/shutdown in Red Hat

[Shane Presley <shane.presley@gmail.com>]

Yes, bb does own all the processes.  Here is a copy of my ps -aef |
grep bb while it's running

bb        7844     1  0 09:28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/bb/bb/bin/bbd
bb        7852     1  0 09:28 pts/2    00:00:00 /bin/sh
/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh start
bb        7854     1  0 09:28 pts/2    00:00:00 /bin/sh
/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh start
bb        7861  7852  0 09:29 pts/2    00:00:00
/usr/local/bb/bb/bin/bbrun /usr/local/bb/bb/bin/bb-network.sh
bb        7891  7854  0 09:30 pts/2    00:00:00
/usr/local/bb/bb/bin/bbrun -a /usr/local/bb/bb/bin/bb-display.sh

And Johann, I changed it to use the su without the -, and I still have
the same problems.  I think this relates to Red Hat doing something
odd.  This worked fine on Fedora and Solaris.

Another clue, the error is:

/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh: line 145: kill: (8524) - Operation not permitted
/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh: line 145: kill: (8524) - Operation not permitted
/usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh: line 145: kill: (8524) - Operation not permitted

You can see in my previous PS that 8524 doesn't exist.  In fact I
think it was the "runbb.sh stop" process.  That process doesn't need
to be killed?  So the script shuts everything down, then tries to kill
itself? and produces an error.  It then doesn't clean up
$BBHOME/tmp/BBPID, and even creates a file called runbb.sh.8525 with
this for contents:

cat runbb.sh.8525
 8524 pts/2    S      0:00 su bb -c /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh stop
 8525 pts/2    S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh stop
 8524 pts/2    S      0:00 su bb -c /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh stop
 8525 pts/2    S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh stop
 8524 pts/2    S      0:00 su bb -c /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh stop
 8525 pts/2    S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bb/bb/runbb.sh stop

I guess I could just let root run/stop BB, but I don't like that.
