#126 bb_start stop doesn't work on FreeBSD

[Anonymous]

Running bin/bb_start stop doesn't stop anything, as it
seems to not recognize the process.

ps entry looks like:

/usr/bin/perl /home/bs/bin/bsmon

in @ps it is:

68196 ?? SN 0:01.44 perl

and daemon find regex in bb_start is

grep( /\s$daemon$/ || /.*perl (bin|uxmon)\/$daemon\s/,
@ps );

There are two problems here:

1) None of the "ps cax", "ps -e", "ps -ef" produce correct
proclist under FBSD. It should be ps ax.

2) Under "ps ax" /.*perl (bin|uxmon)\/$daemon\s/ is not
enough, as it should include "/home/bs/" part too.

Hmpf, I hate the "ps" command. "ps ax" is not a real good
choice, either. "ps cax" on a "normal" system would print
something like

68196 ?? SN 0:01.44 bsmon

It's fun :-((

Ok, it's fixed (hopefully), now. During startup Big Sister
processes now set their name via setting $0. bb_start has
been slightly modified to recognize variations due to this
name override (on some systems the process name will be
listed as "newname (originalname)".

If you want you can try this out, you'll have to replace
common.pm by
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/\checkout*/bigsister/bigsister/common.pm?rev=1.38
and bb_start by
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/\checkout*/bigsister/bigsister/tools/bb_start.pl?rev=1.11

Best regards,
