Using daemontools
If you are using daemontools, and come across the following error even though the supervise directory and all related files exist:
svc: warning: unable to control /service/dev: file does not exist
Then you can do the following:
1. Use ps -afx to display a hierarchy of processes… really quite cool.
2. If procreadtitle is running in the process list, then do the following:
ps axww|grep readproctitle
3. That should display the error that is preventing the service from starting. If you are using daemontools with openacs, then the problem might be a misconfigured run file, or that you haven’t set the right permissions on the server log files.
