Fix #95: Create PID file if program does not
This patch adds support for creating, and removing, a PID file for
programs (services) that for some reason does not create one. With
Finit this is very useful since it allows us to use our condition
support even for "broken" daemons.
To enable this for a service, use the following syntax:
service pid[:[/path/to/]file[.pid]] /path/to/daemon
I.e., `pid` is a required argument if you want to enable the feature,
but the rest is optional:
pid --> /run/`basename $CMD`.pid
pid:file --> /run/file.pid
pid:file.dip --> /run/file.dip
pid:/mnt/k --> /mnt/k.pid
pid:/mnt/k.foo --> /mnt/k.foo
There is an additional feature with this patch. For daemons that run
with a different identiy one usually wants to create the PID file with
that identity, e.g.:
service inadyn -I dyn -- Dyn.com DDNS client
service inadyn -I freedns -- FreeDNS DDNS client
Here inadyn will look for /etc/dyn.conf and create /run/dyn.pid, and
/etc/freedns.conf and create /run/freedns.pid, respetively. While Finit
will in both cases assume the PID file is /run/inadyn.pid ... err fail!
To get out of this mess the `pid` argument can be used to tell Finit
what the real PID file the daemon creates is called:
service pid:!dyn inadyn -I dyn -- Dyn.com DDNS client
service pid:!freedns inadyn -I freedns -- FreeDNS DDNS client
The same composition rules listed above applies also to the `!` variant.
