[libvirt-users] virtlockd, init script and kill signals

[Franky Van Liedekerke]

Hi,

I've read in the documentation that virtlockd uses SIGUSR1 to dump its 
state and then re-execs itself.
Now I tried it and this seems to fail because virtlockd is being 
launched without a full path (when using the init script), thus re-exec 
fails with the error:

error : virLockDaemonPreExecRestart:1092 : Unable to restart self: No 
such file or directory

Changing in the init script the PROCESS variable to

PROCESS=/usr/sbin/virtlockd

fixes this.


Also, concerning the init script:
- HUP seems to crash the daemon, so maybe it's better to be replaced by 
SIGUSR1 or removed
- path to process pid file (variable PIDFILE) needed to be changed to 
/var/run/$SERVICE.pid
- the path to the config file needed to be changed 
(/etc/sysconfig/virtlockd) to contain
   VIRTLOCKD_ARGS="-f /etc/libvirt/qemu-lockd.conf"


Hope this helps someone :-)
