Bug #999
closed
vhosts does not show up as started
0%
Description
In pfSense 1.x, checking whether a service was started was done using ps axwu | grep '\b{$process}\b' | grep -v 'grep'.
In 2.0, this checking is done using pgrep -x {$process}.
The vhosts package uses the same executable name as the webconfigurator so it checks whether it is running by using "vhosts-http" (the config file name) as $process. That works in the old way because the config file shows up in the ps listing.
However, pgrep only checks the program names so the vhosts service always appears stopped in the services manager.

Hi!
Could you tell us how to fix it.
I think two years it's so much time to fix this little problem (talking about the modifications it needs to fix it).
Regards,

I can confirm this is still an issue with the package. It seems to work outside the fact there is no way to know if the service is actually running or not.

looks a little weird... it seems that \b...\b didn't match the old way:

perhaps you can match it on config file without \b\b ?

This is still an issue in the current release

Yeah, I won't be hardlinking lighttpd for every vhost, sorry; pgrep -anf is supposed to match this:
-f Match against full argument lists. The default is to match against process names.
If it doesn't, then it's broken.
