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:

[2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local]/root(23): ps axwu | grep '\blighttpd\b' | grep -v 'grep'
root 2489 0.0 0.4 26268 6872 ?? S Tue08AM 0:12.85 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf
root 16993 0.0 0.2 20996 3872 ?? S Tue08AM 0:01.27 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/vhosts-http.conf
[2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local]/root(24): ps axwu | grep '\b/var/etc/vhosts-http.conf\b' | grep -v 'grep'
[2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local]/root(25): ps axwu | grep '\b/var/etc/vhosts-http.conf\b' | grep -v 'grep'
[2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local]/root(26): ps axwu | grep '\b/var/etc/vhosts-http\b' | grep -v 'grep'
[2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local]/root(27): ps axwu | grep '\b/var/etc/vhosts-http' | grep -v 'grep'
[2.1-RELEASE][root@pfsense.local]/root(28): ps axwu | grep '/var/etc/vhosts-http' | grep -v 'grep'
root 16993 0.0 0.2 20996 3872 ?? S Tue08AM 0:01.27 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /var/etc/vhosts-http.conf

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

Fixed by https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/commit/266662ff8334da5210ad64f08b050b1167386268

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.
