[Sqlgrey-users] restarting via a HUP signal

[Max D. <Max...@lr...>]

Hi Lionel,

in Net::Server, it is said:

"Each of the server personalities (except for INET), support restarting 
via a HUP signal (see "kill -l"). When a HUP is received, the server 
will close children (if any), make sure that sockets are left open, and 
re-exec using the same commandline parameters that initially started the 
server."

Making sure that sockets are left open - that's what I wanted.
But this happens, when I try HUPing sqlgrey:

2005/01/07-10:37:28 Server closing!
2005/01/07-10:37:28 HUP'ing server
Process Backgrounded
2005/01/07-10:37:29 Pid_file already exists for running process 
26902)... aborting    at line 268 in file 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/Server.pm
2005/01/07-10:37:29 Server closing!

sqlgrey source says:

    if (defined $opt{kill}) {
	...
	unlink $pidfile;
	exit;
    }

but in case of a HUP, the old pidfile still exists.
Do you know an easy solution for this?

Thanks,
Max
