Re: [SSHGuard-users] openrc incorrect status

[<gi...@co...>]

This is in reply to the mail thread last written to on 2019-02-14.

I also stumbled across this issue. OpenRC can track sshguard better if 
you use the --pidfile flag in start-stop-daemon, as such

   start-stop-daemon --start --wait ${SSHGUARD_WAIT} --background --quiet 
--pidfile ${SSHGUARD_PIDFILE} --exec \
    /usr/sbin/sshguard -- -i ${SSHGUARD_PIDFILE} ${SSHGUARD_OPTS}

However, referring to below excerpt from the sshguard shell-script 
(/usr/sbin/sshguard on Alpine Linux), when the service is stopped, 
sshg-blocker and the shell-script will be killed, but the $tailcmd and 
sshg-parser will continue, orphaned.

eval $tailcmd | $libexec/sshg-parser | \
     $libexec/sshg-blocker $flags | ($BACKEND; kill -PIPE $$)

I don't know why that is.
