[Feature Request] Add PID support #147

Closed melroy89 closed 1 year ago

melroy89 commented 1 year ago

Just like bitcoind has an -pid option to specify a PID file. Like so: -pid=/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid

I would like to have a similar option (-pid) for Fulcrum, which allows me to easier manage the service in case of emergencies/failures.

That would be great, thanks in advance!

Regards, Melroy van den Berg

Hmm. Any chance you can just parse the json from Fulcrum's "admin" port getinfo call? It reports its PID in there.. On my system this is how I do it (my FulcrumAdmin port is port 8000 on localhost):

$ ./FulcrumAdmin -p 8000 getinfo | jq .pid

Nah. I'm now using the Monit matching by process pattern instead of pidfile.

check process Fulcrum matching "fulcrum"

Which is good enough for now, I just think that a pidfile is maybe more robust. I could be wrong.

Ok, I added this to master just now. The CLI arg is --pidfile and the conf file var is pidfile=. I will do a Fulcrum release soon which will include this change.
