I then went ahead and tried to stop the service using:
sudo service randomService stop
Which returns successfully.
Testing with sudo forever list however, shows that the process was not stopped.
Investigating this i found that the service script '/etc/init.d/randomService' are using the 'forever list' piped through sed and awk to find the PID. But awk is always looking at index seven: awk '{print $7}'
Running this command-set in cli returned '--option2=2' instead of the PID...
Instead of counting from the beginning and handle the variable command width it could be fixed by counting from the end instead using awk '{print $(NF-2)}'.
I do not think that this would break anything, but please prove me wrong.
Piping through awk as in the current template:
sudo /usr/bin/forever --plain list | sed -n -e '/data:\s*\[[0-9]*\]\s\(randomService\)\s/p' | awk '{print $7}'
Result:
--option2=2
Piping through awk counting from the back:
sudo /usr/bin/forever --plain list | sed -n -e '/data:\s*\[[0-9]*\]\s\(randomService\)\s/p' | awk '{print $(NF-2)}
Result:
555
