In preparation for our chat later today regarding SqueakSource issues I should note that late yesterday I seem to have stumbled onto a (I say 'A') solution for the issue we have had with source.squeak.org where supervise (daemontools) was not able to start, or at least keep running, the source.squeak.org instance.
I 'fixed' it by modifying the run script so that it refers directly to the VM executable (under /usr/local/lib/) rather than use the shell script in /usr/local/bin/. I don't understand why this fixed it, I don't understand why it ever broke. In fact I'm pretty sure I tried this before to no effect.
Confused,
Hi Ken,
Can you please post the run script that you are using for source.squeak.org? Here is the /home/ssdotcom/run script that I came up with for squeaksource.com running on box3. This script execs the /usr/local/bin/squeak script which in turn execs the squeakvm executable. I confirmed that the pid of the squeakvm is the same as the pid of the run script when it is started, and also that the squeakvm is being run under the ssdotcom user ID. I am a newbie at supervise but this seems to be working fine as nearly as I can tell.
--- /home/ssdotcom/run --- #!/bin/sh # Thu Nov 14 18:23:37 CET 2013 # run script for /usr/bin/supervise
exec 2>&1
USER=ssdotcom SSHOME=/home/ssdotcom/SqueakSource IMAGE=squeaksource.3.image
VM=/usr/local/bin/squeak VMARGS='-vm-display-null'
echo starting $0 in pid $$
echo cd $SSHOME cd $SSHOME
echo exec setuidgid ${USER} ${VM} ${VMARGS} ${SSHOME}/${IMAGE} exec setuidgid ${USER} ${VM} ${VMARGS} ${SSHOME}/${IMAGE}
--- end of /home/ssdotcom/run ---
I also set up logging with a /home/ssdotcom/log/run script as follows. This also seems to be working as expected.
--- /home/ssdotcom/log/run --- #!/bin/sh USER=ssdotcom exec setuidgid ${USER} multilog t ./main
--- end of /home/ssdotcom/log/run ---

Discard the comments and the logic to autodetect VNC and it could be two lines
#!/bin/bash su -c "/usr/local/lib/squeak/3.11.3-2135/squeakvm -vm-display-none \ /home/squeaksource/Squeak3.11-8824-SS.image" squeaksource"
I actually spent a fair amount of time trying to get setuidgid to work. It comes with daemontools and it seems like the perfect tool, and yet it didn't seem to set the uid or gid correctly or perhaps more likely the environment was not being properly setup. In any case I switched back to su but changed the invocation slightly and, as I said used the executable directly.
