#5410 closed defect (duplicate)

Tracd does not stay running as a daemon when executed with the --pidfile switch

Description

I have a .sh script run as below:
$ su tracuser
$ sh Start.sh
The script contains: (Among other starting processes)

su -c "rm -f /home/will/Desktop/tracd && echo '55' > /home/will/Desktop/tracd && chmod 777 /home/will/Desktop/tracd"
tracd -d -p 8080 -s -r --auth=trac,/path/to/htdigest,trac /path/to/tracenv --pidfile=/home/will/Desktop/tracd

The script puts out the pid to the designated file, but when I cheeck the running processes, tracd is nowhere to be found… (ps -ax|grep "tracd") Running tracd from outside the sh script with the same switches produces the same effect, except that the pidfile is deleted almost immediately after creation.
Running tracd with either method without the --pidfile switch results in the daemon running correctly.

Well, I think the —pidfile and the -r flag can't really be used together. Try without the -r flag to see if this improves the situation.

Ah, I see. It works perfectly now. =D…That needs to be better documented. When I was playing with it, tracd -d -r --pidfile=tracd, tracd responded that pidfile had to be an absolute path when using -s and -r. So, I figured that —pidfile and -r DID work together.

So, either —pidfile and -r need to be made to work together, or the built-in error messages need be clarified

This is related #7049. I have provided a patch there that disallows --auto-reload together with --daemonize, which would solve this ticket as well.

I think it's safe to close as duplicate of #7049.
