> > You can probably replace that with a much cleaner pid=$(pidof cassandra). Good to know! I hadn't heard of pidof before. However this is what I get when I run it: [root at web1:~] #pidof cassandra [root at web1:~] # Returns nothing. However: [root at web1:~] #pidof java 27210 11418 10852 Gives me a few pids. Only one of which belongs to cassandra, as I have a few java processes running. I still find that my little script isolates exactly the pid of cassandra that I would need to shutdown. [root at web1:~] #check-cass.sh Cassandra is running with pid: 27210 I really need to turn this into an init script. Which I probably will. But this is just for a hobby project ,and I'm a little too lazy to do it this weekend. Maybe next weekend.
