What happens if start-stop daemon does nothing?
If such a process exists, start-stop-daemon does nothing, and exits with error status 1 (0 if –oknodo is specified). If such a process does not exist, it starts an instance, using either the executable specified by –exec or, if specified, by –startas.
How does killall ( 1 ) and start-stop-daemon work?
Note: unless –pid or –pidfile are specified, start-stop-daemon behaves similar to killall (1). start-stop-daemon will scan the process table looking for any processes which match the process name, parent pid, uid, and/or gid (if specified). Any matching process will prevent –start from starting the daemon.
Is there an option to fork start-stop-daemon?
This option will force start-stop-daemon to fork before starting the process, and force it into the background. Warning: start-stop-daemon cannot check the exit status if the process fails to execute for any reason.
When to chdir to the root directory in start-stop-daemon?
This is done after the chroot if the -r | –chroot option is set. When not specified, start-stop-daemon will chdir to the root directory before starting the process. -b, –background Typically used with programs that don’t detach on their own.
