{bb} RE: {bb} RE: {bb} runbb.sh stopÂÂ - fails with"kill: no such process"

["Strandell, Ralf" <Ralf.Strandell@silja.com>]

Hi,

The only hint I can offer is: edit the runbb.sh script and search for "$RM" and "BBPID". Look what it's doing.

if i delete the BBPID files, would a start stop then be successfull?
If it is the case that it only happens when i have outdated files, and a possible solution would be to remove them, then this would be an acceptable solution.

My main Problem is, that this failure happens every time when i perform a stop/start ... i tought bbrun.sh wipes out this files after every stop execution?

yes once, when our NAS crashed, BB hung completely, so i had to kill the processes manually.
