init script no longer working

[jonorthwash]

I'm having to stop the process manually in order to restart begiak. Something about the init script appears to be broken.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/begiak.sh restart
[sudo] password for firespeaker:
Restarting begiak
process already running.
ERROR: Couldn't start begiak

[jonorthwash]

Also note behaviour like:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/begiak.sh stop
Stopping begiak
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 4224: No such process
1 pids were not killed
No process in pidfile '/var/run/begiak.pid' found running; none killed.
ERROR: Couldn't stop begiak

I claimed this on GCI. Could you assign it to me?

Done!

I fixed it by adding a sleep 1 command. Begiak didn't have time to stop before the script tried to start it again.

How does this explain the behaviour described by @jonorthwash, where the process to be killed could not be found, and no processes were found running either?

Also, it seems to be "sleep 5" currently. This isn't good. See the discussion here:
