DaemonTools

Mr House can be run successfully using DJB's daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html). The following is an example /service/mh/run script that also implements WatchDog functionality. The "reload misterhouse" functionality works and it runs mh as a non root user.

code format="bash"

1. !/bin/sh
2. this is /service/mh/run

WATCHDOG=/usr/local/mh/data/watchdog touch ${WATCHDOG} exec 2>&1

MHBIN=/usr/local/mh/mh/bin export mh_parms=/usr/local/mh/mh.private.ini

echo echo Creating startup file touch ${MHBIN}/mh.startup

1. Avoid a memory leak problem in Red Hat 8

export LANG=C

echo Running mh exec setuidgid x10 perl ${MHBIN}/mh "$@" rc=$? echo mh rc=$rc

1. rc==1 means that a user requested that mh shut down

if [$rc]; then

  echo mh exited normally
  touch down
  exit

fi

1. if the mh.startup file still exists, then misterhouse didn't
2. start correctly

if [-f]; then

  echo mh failed on startup ... will not restart
  touch down
  exit

fi
