Changes for version 0.12

  • (ms) 'status' now doesn't write to the logfile (suggested by Brian Pitts) (ms) 'stop' now verifies if the process is still up, and retries $App::Daemon::kill_retries times (defaults to 3) times, with 1-second sleeps in between. (ms) Upon successful 'stop', pid file now gets removed (suggested by Brian Pitts) (ms) 'status' now triggers exit codes in compliance with http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html (suggested by Brian Pitts) (ms) using SIGTERM now instead of SIGINT to terminate a process
