Re: [Wrapper-user] centos5 - Can't make old wrapper daemon go away

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Horace,
What version of the Wrapper are you using?  I was working with a
customer up until a couple months ago working with CentOS and
it was working perfectly.  That was using the latest script out of
SVN though:
http://wrapper.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/wrapper/trunk/wrapper/src/bin/sh.script.in

For some reason the value of $WRAPPER_CMD is not being found in
the output of your ps command.

Can you run this and then post the results:

echo $WRAPPER_CMD
echo `$PSEXE -ww -p $pid -o args`

That should make the cause clear.

Cheers,
Leif
