NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

searchmonitor is typcially called from a system start script such as searchd(8) (for SysV-like systems) or rc.local (for BSD-like systems).  

Restartable Conditions

*

A create, bind, or listen to a TCP or Unix domain socket fails.

*

A select or an accept on a socket fails.

*

Creating or detaching a thread fails.

*

Initializing a thread mutex or condition fails.

*

Any unaccounted-for exit status.

Restartable conditions are logged via syslogd(8) at the ERR level. There is a 5-second sleep before the process is restarted to prevent tight loops.  

Unrestartable Conditions

*

Error in configuration file.

*

Error in command-line.

*

Reading the index file fails.

*

Writing the PID file fails.

*

Deleting an old Unix domain socket file fails.

*

*

The user or group the process is attempting to change its user and group ID to does not exist.

*

The process received a USR2 signal in response to a manual shutdown request.

With the exception of USR2, unrestartable conditions are logged via syslogd(8) at the ALERT level.
