bug#29992: 'postgres' service doesn't stop

Hi Catonano,

Does it stay in foreground with the tryton service, too?  It shouldn't do that for the service, see below.

make-forkexec-constructor should takes a pid-file argument which is supposed to refer to a file that trytond creates.  If that isn't specified, shepherd will default to the pid of the child process of shepherd that did the exec().  So it shouldn't have tryton in foreground in any case.

Note: make-forkexec-constructor also has a #:log-file keyword argument - which is handy for debugging.

(define make-kill-destructor
  (lambda* (#:optional (signal SIGTERM))
    (lambda (pid . args)
      (kill pid signal)
      #f)))

So it sends SIGTERM to the process.

What happens when you send SIGTERM manually ("kill -TERM ...")?

You can try finding its pid with "ps -ef |grep tryton" and then compare their /proc/<pid> trees (manually started vs. service-started).

In your screenshot, that would be /proc/411, especially /proc/411/fd and its signal mask (in /proc/411/status).

That's good then.

Try "netstat -lpn | grep 411" (or whatever the pid is now) to find out whether it's actually listening.
