Summary: removing openser.pid from /var/run/

Initial Comment:
bug is found in versions : 1.2.2 , 1.3.3 respectively operationg system is Solaris 10

problem:

when starting openser either version 1.2.2 or 1.3.3 using 
/sbin/openserctl start or stop

 there is no problem and the server starts and stops working normally, but when starting it again it Complains that there is another process is already running although the server PID was killed,therefore it gives the following message : 

INFO:PID file exists (/var/run/openser.pid)! OpenSER already running?

solution :

i have edited the openserctl script , specifically the stop operation section to be like that :

openser_stop() {
	echo
	printf "Stopping OpenSER : "
	if [ -r $PID_FILE ] ; then
		kill `cat $PID_FILE`
		rm -f /var/run/openser.pid
                minfo "stopped"

just added the rm -f /var/run/openser.pid command and now everything starts to work without any problem, by the way i don't know it is the right way to do that but at least it works fine for me

Hi henningw, 

So far  , I did not find a direct solution to this problem, but I tried
with some attempts to know what is happening but unfortunately , it was not
successful . The problem now is when tracking syslog file , I was surprised
that it was empty and did not contain any information either related to
openser or any application on the system . I will google about this issue
and I hope asap get some results . 

Regards 

Muhammad

Hi Muhammad,

thanks for the report. Normally in the cleanup function of the server the
old pid will be removed. If this not happens on Solaris 10 then perhaps the
server crashes on the cleanup? Then you'll get a core dump in the working
directory. Can you check in the log files if there if there goes something
wrong during the shutdown?

The message you get is also not critical, if you decrease the log level
above L_INFO then this will not show up at all in the log files.

Henning
