Unfortunately, PID files have always been racy with USR2.
Nowadays systemd is fairly standardized and seems to work
pretty well for managing sockets and services.
I'm still not a fan of some systemd things, but I think the socket
activation part is very nice. Example @.service and .socket files
are distributed nowadays:
https://unicorn.bogomips.org/examples/unicorn@.service
https://unicorn.bogomips.org/examples/unicorn.socket
> Can you help me and enlighten me as to why this proposed change works?
Anyways, things are racy in that script and increasing the
"sleep 2" to a higher number will help if your system is really
overloaded.

I actually wrote a better init script for a similar server,
patch coming in a bit (or later, close to falling asleep).

Thanks for input.
I will close this issue and wait for your patch later, then.
Will also close pull-request I put at github with reference to this thread.
PS. Thanks for tip on HTML vs Plain text mails. Didn't know Gmail
could send plain text :)

Proposed patch below (for "git am --scissors" users)
I've pushed this out to the "jr/init" branch on the git repo
and you can download the blob directly, here:
https://bogomips.org/unicorn.git/plain/examples/init.sh?h=jr/init
Will rebase/amend this branch as necessary until merged into master.
> Will also close pull-request I put at github with reference to this thread.
Please do, thank you.
Their terms-of-service doesn't allow bots to auto-close and redirect
things; and I can't support any centralized messaging system.

I think the only problem with gmail I've heard was from mobile
phone app users. At least the git ML and LKML gets text-only
gmail posts all the time.
We old-school conventions mean we also trim our quotes and
avoid top-posting :)
------------8<----------------
Subject: [PATCH] examples/init.sh: update to reduce upgrade raciness
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Rework the "upgrade" target to only read the PID files once to
avoid misreading the wrong PID files in the middle of the
upgrade.
Additionally, introduce the UPGRADE_DELAY environment parameter
so users can increase/decrease according to their application
startup time.
PID files are inherently racy and people should be using a
process manager (systemd or similar) instead, but this should
mitigate most of the problems with the old target.
While we're at it, add LSB tags for systems which complain
about the lack of them and modernize things a bit using
$(command) construct instead of the more fragile `command`.
Thanks-to: Jesper Rønn-Jensen <jesperrr@gmail.com>

Hi Jesper, did you get a chance to test this updated init script?
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.
