Hi all,
I realise this is slightly OT (the problem seems to be in a different program) but thought that someobdy out there may have solved this one already. I'm trying to run a second instance of stunnel (different 'verify' level) on a SuSE 8.2 box.
The second instance just doesn't start.
What I did was to copy the supplied /etc/init.d/stunnel script to 'stunnelv' and referenced different config and PID files. After I had fixed bug in the startup script (the line which started the process - using startproc - didn't pass the conf file, and didn't get told to use the PID file) I still got the same error.
Now, if I run '/etc/init.d/stunnel start' I get /var/run/stunnel.pid. If I then run '/etc/init.d/stunnelv start' it reports 'OK' but didn't really start. If I start them the other way around 'stunnelv' works and I get /var/run/stunnelv.pid but then 'stunnel' won't start.
Thinking that 'startproc' is seeing 'stunnel' already running in the processlist, I tried creating a symbolic link '/usr/sbin/stunelv' to /usr/bin/stunnel and changed '/etc/init.d/stunnelv' to run that instead of '/usr/sbin/stunnel'. Looking in 'ps' it is reported as 'stunnelv' but I still can't get the second instance to start.
The error seems to be with 'startproc' - it seems to think that the intended process is running when it's not. If I just type in the line which starts up stunnel as shown below I get the same behaviour.
startproc -v -l /var/log/rc.stunnelv.log -p /var/run/stunnelv.pid /usr/sbin/stunnelv /etc/stunnel/verified_clients.conf
Unfortunately, the '-v' option doesn't seem to work.
Anybody any suggestions?
TIA,
Colin
