RE: [SSI-users] ps/top environment

[Walker, B. J <bru...@hp...>]

I don't have the startup script for apache (only apache2) but I looked =
at ntpd (which is in defaultview and yet started from rc).  One thing it =
does different is it uses the start-stop-daemon to launch which apache2 =
does not.  Does apache use the start-stop-daemon?  Maybe it is resetting =
the localview?

You got it, that's exactly the case. Thanks!

Indeed, services are launched this way:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
/bin/onclass --quiet --procview=3Dlocal
all /etc/init.d/debian.lock /etc/init.d/apache start
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
So, to my understanding, apache and apache2 should be treated the same, =
and they should be run in a localview context.=20
But, that's not the case : while apache2 is runned 'localview', apache =
is runned 'defaultview'. And that, despite the fact the both are =
launched exactly the same way (diff between 'bash -x $(which =
invoke-rc.d) apache start'=20
and
'bash -x $(which invoke-rc.d) apache2 start'=20
is attached)

Then, apache is 'defaultview' and apache2 is 'localview':
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------
ssi03:/etc# for i in $(pidof apache); do cat /proc/$i/localview; done =
defaultview defaultview defaultview defaultview defaultview defaultview =
defaultview defaultview defaultview defaultview defaultview defaultview =
defaultview defaultview defaultview ssi03:/etc# for i in $(pidof =
apache2); do cat /proc/$i/localview; done localview localview localview =
localview localview localview localview localview localview localview =
localview localview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
------

I can't see why, and that's very distrubing. ;)
