Subject: "sv down foo" => kill -SIGQUIT?
Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2006 23:42:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <x3r726hh9e.fsf@nowhere.com> (raw)


I just discovered (or was pointed to) runit.  It rocks.

However, I have one service (OpenAFS's fileserver) that needs to be
sent a SIGQUIT as the way of telling it to shut down gracefully.
Sending a SIGTERM causes it to simply quit immediately, and the next
time it starts up it has to do a sort of psuedo-fsck scan of its
files, which can take around an hour in some cases.

Is there any way to tell runit that this process wants to be sent a
SIGQUIT rather than SIGTERM?  I know about "sv quit foo", but I'm
worried I'll accidentally type "sv down foo".

Thanks,

  - a
