[IRCServices Coding] Re: IRCServices-Coding digest, Vol 1 #125 - 3 msgs

At a guess id say more specifically:

1) It has worked with non v5
2) The pid is created and then once it becomes stale disappears
3) I see nothing wrong with below

#!/bin/sh

servicesdir="/home/chris/servers/services/bin"
piddir="/home/chris/servers/services/lib"
name="ircservices"


########## you probably don't need to change anything below here ##########


cd $piddir
if test -r $name.pid; then
  # there is a pid file -- is it current?
  mypid=`cat $name.pid`
  if `kill -CHLD $mypid >/dev/null 2>&1`; then
    # it's still going
    # back out quietly
    exit 0
  fi
  echo ""
  echo "Stale $name.pid file (erasing it)"
  rm -f $name.pid
fi
echo ""
echo "Couldn't find the daemon running.  Reloading it..."
echo ""
cd $servicesdir
./$name
exit 0
