Scripting Help

[Anubix]

I'm working on a script as follows:

#!/bin/sh

/bin/chmod -R 777 /var/log/radacct/199.*
cp /etc/raddb/users.temp /etc/raddb/users
rm /etc/raddb/users.temp_*
/bin/kill -HUP 301
~
~; 'cat /etc/raddb/radiusd.pid ¦awk '{print $1}''

it's fairly simple, but for some reason, the kill part does not work...the first part of the script works perfect, but i can't get it to work entirely...
it's runing on FreeBSD 4.2-Release, using the csh shell...

if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated...of if u couldn't help, help me get pointed in the right direction...

thanx

My guess is the PID you are trying to kill isn't always going to be 301. Processes grab different numbers each time a new one is created. Applications often write their PID to a file (typically stored in a directory such as /var/run). If the application you are wanting to kill does this, you could grab the PID from that file, and kill it that way.

okay...i'll take a look at that and see what happens, thanx...
