(RADIATOR) Restartwrapper problems (notification mail)

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Hi Hugh,

I think the cause of the problem is probably the existence of all
the rc scripts which are auto-configured when on uses an RPM install
for example coupled with the restartwrapper entry in rc.local
Though I haven't tried it but I would guess that one shouldn't (be able to)\
use a restartwrapper entry in rc.local together with rc scripts.

Regards,
Tunde I.

Hello Neil, Hello Tunde -

Neil is correct.

Because you are getting an error when restartWrapper is trying to
execute the command specified, restartWrapper is doing what is supposed
to do - ie. waiting 2 secdonds and then trying again.

You will need to fix the problem (ie. change the port numbers or
whatever), and then restartWrapper will successfully start the program
and then wait for it to exit (for whatever reason) then it will start
the program again. This is the reason that you need the "-foreground"
flag in the command line for "radiusd ....", so that it (radiusd) does
not detach from the controlling program (restartWrapper), which would
otherwise cause restartWrapper to spin trying to restart radiusd
forever.

regards

Hugh
