init.d service died
- by jerluc
Adapting some code from a linux forum, I've added a service script to /etc/init.d on my ubuntu natty server to start/stop/restart node.js
It literally was working the first day I made it, but then today, after viewing my website this morning, the server threw a 404, and upon further inspection, the node.js process was gone.
So I went to start the service again, only this time, node.js didn't start at all, and ever since I haven't been able to get my service script working.
Below is the entire script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Node Server Startup
#
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting node: "
daemon node /usr/local/www/server.js
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/node
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down node: "
killall node
echo
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/node
rm -f /var/run/node.pid
;;
status)
status node
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
reload)
echo -n "Reloading node: "
killall node -HUP
echo
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Thanks for any help!
