Domoticz does not restart after being killed on Raspbian (stretch)

kraades · Post by **kraades** » Wednesday 09 January 2019 16:21

Clean install of Domoticz V4.9700 on Raspbian Stretch Lite on Raspberry Pi 2.
No Domoticz database restored.

It seems that Domoticz does not restart after being killed with a kill command on Raspbian (stretch).
After starting Domoticz the status is "active (exited)" instead of "active (running)" as it should be.
After rebooting the system Domoticz can be started again.
See below.

For reference.
This does work on Raspbian (wheezy).
See below.

Is this a bug?

After starting Domoticz the status is "active (exited)" instead of "active (running)" as it should be.
After rebooting the system Domoticz can be started again.

I don't know for previous versions but in stretch I do a manual stop before start when domoticz was killed (by a kill command or crash)

Thanks!

Your suggestion to first issue the stop command before the start command does work.
As an alternative it looks like you can also use the restart command.

I do think though that this is a bug because imho Domoticz should be able to start under every circumstance using the start command.

This also means that the Monit configuration needs to change from:
(from https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Monitorin ... f_programs)

Code: Select all

start program = "/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh start"
stop  program = "/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh stop"

to:

Code: Select all

start program = "/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh restart"
stop  program = "/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh stop"

You are right. If you look at /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh you will see that the restart is effectively a stop followed by a start.
In my monit I use

Code: Select all

service domoticz restart
