Possible bug when relaunching App_Server

[chrisbirkinshaw]

In another thread in the feature requests forum (http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=2689.0) we discussed suspend to ram/disk but ran into problems as the App_Server can often quit on resume. As I test I just tried issuing a "killall App_Server", then waited to see what happened. Issuing a "ps aux | grep App_Server" reveals that it did not restart so I tried manually:

screen -d -m -S App_Server-40 /usr/pluto/bin/Spawn_Device.sh 40 dcerouter App_Server

This is the result from the spawn log:

3       02/03/08 17:43:53       40 (spawning-device)    Device died... count=1/50 dev=40
Sun Feb  3 17:43:53 GMT 2008 died

So it does not start as the system thinks it is still running, however it is definitely not. How can I change this status, and what watchdog is supposed to be taking care of tracking this accurately?

Thanks,

Chris

Try removing the device-number from /usr/pluto/locks/pluto_spawned_local_devices.txt, for instance in your example you could try running:

Code: [Select]

sudo sed -e '/^40$/d' -i /usr/pluto/locks/pluto_spawned_local_devices.txt
The sudo won't be necessary if you're already root (like in a boot script).
