Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fix xend restarting problem on NetBSD

[Roger Pau Monnà <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While searching for a man page to show you the check_pidfile options
I've found that you can also set a variable with the path to the
interpreter, so no need to expand the script. The only strange thing
is that I have to use SIGKILL to kill xend, SIGTERM seems to do
nothing (also xend spawns two processes, but I guess this is normal).

Attached an updated patch, with a simpler script.

Thanks for making me look at it again, Roger.
