Joel: A comment and a possible fix for the supervise orphan.

As I was looking at (and using) tclwebtest over the past few weeks, I came across a warning that tclwebtest doesn't work on non-port-80 connections. Don't know if that's still true or not.

The deamontools orphan is probably caused by moving the service directory before forcing supervise to totally relenquish control. I analyzed this same issue when I tested and modified the older version of the automatic .lrn install scripts. I solved the issue I identified as follows (copied from another forum article). Note that my setup uses supervise and multilog to manage the error log also. Just disregard the log stuff if that's not the case in your setup.

  • remove the service's symlink from /service (svscan no longer restarts supervise)
  • svc -xd /home/servers/service0/log ('log' supervise exits and service stops)
  • svc -xd /home/servers/service0 ('aolserver' supervise exits and service stops)
  • recreate the service's symlink in /service (svscan retarts supervise processes)
  • 'svscan' should now automagically restart everything
