I'm trying to modify this example using some input from here as I want only to stop the specific Python app running as a daemon because there will be others as well on the same server running on Python so don't want kill all python scripts...
The server runs the Amazon Linux which I believe is CentOS.
USER="root"
APPNAME="myPythonApp1"
APPBIN="/usr/bin/python"
APPARGS="/usr/local/sbin/app1/app.py"
LOGFILE="/var/log/$APPNAME/error.log"
LOCKFILE="/var/lock/subsys/$APPNAME"
LOGPATH=$(dirname $LOGFILE)
prog=$APPBIN
start() {
[ -x $prog ] || exit 5
[ -d $LOGPATH ] || mkdir $LOGPATH
[ -f $LOGFILE ] || touch $LOGFILE
echo -n $"Starting $APPNAME: "
daemon --user=$USER "$APPBIN $APPARGS >>$LOGFILE &"
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch $LOCKFILE
return $RETVAL
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Stopping $APPNAME: "
pid=`ps -ef | grep '[p]ython $APPARGS' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
echo $pid
kill $pid
sleep 1
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f $LOCKFILE
return $RETVAL
}
Start works fine, no issue. When I try and stop I get an error:
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]
If I run from the shell the command to get the pid, it works:
ps -ef | grep '[p]ython /usr/local/sbin/app1/app.py' | awk '{ print $2 }'
I get the processid so what am I missing...?
Many thanks in advance!
