How can I generate a command for start-stop-daemon that will kill the process if it doesn't term during a timeout period?
There are two ways:
The first is just to specify a numeric --retry
value. Then it will use /signal/timeout/KILL/timeout
schedule. I.e. send a terminating signal (specified with --signal
option), then wait the specified number of seconds and then send a KILL signal that could not be ignored by a process and therefore it will be forced to exit.
The command will look like:
/sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --signal TERM --retry 5 --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/redis/redis.pid --exec /usr/bin/redis-server
The second is to specify a complete schedule to the --retry option
. It will look like:
/sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --retry TERM/5/KILL/10 --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/redis/redis.pid --exec /usr/bin/redis-server

I need to run a
start-stop-daemon
for a redis instance and I want it to send aSIGTERM
and if the redis instance doesn't quit i would like it to force a quit.The
start-stop-daemon
configuration says that the--retry
option can be used for that but i couldn't figure a way to do this, here's my current command:/sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --retry forever/TERM --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/redis/redis.pid --exec /usr/bin/redis-server
Any hints on how I would be able to do this?
