From 0f704402a236d385e8b30083ccf9aca327c0a57e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Hubbs Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 14:15:06 -0600 Subject: supervise-daemon: make the pidfile an implementation detail The pidfile of the supervisor doesn't need to be adjustable by the service script. It is only used so the supervisor can stop itself when the --stop option is used. --- man/supervise-daemon.8 | 17 +---------------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 16 deletions(-) (limited to 'man') diff --git a/man/supervise-daemon.8 b/man/supervise-daemon.8 index 8bcd8b5c..0da1c5ac 100644 --- a/man/supervise-daemon.8 +++ b/man/supervise-daemon.8 @@ -36,8 +36,6 @@ .Ar count .Fl N , -nicelevel .Ar level -.Fl p , -pidfile -.Ar pidfile .Fl P , -respawn-period .Ar seconds .Fl R , -retry @@ -57,8 +55,6 @@ .Nm .Fl K , -stop .Ar daemon -.Fl p , -pidfile -.Ar pidfile .Fl r , -chroot .Ar chrootpath .Sh DESCRIPTION @@ -76,12 +72,6 @@ should not be the one the daemon writes. .Pp Here are the options to specify the daemon and how it should start or stop: .Bl -tag -width indent -.It Fl p , -pidfile Ar pidfile -When starting, we write a -.Ar pidfile -so we know which supervisor to stop.
