RedHat/Fedora init script

[tinti]

Hi celery-users,

I'd like to share my start script for RedHat/Fedora init system. Most
parts of the script are taken from the Debian init script, but as this
one isn't usable on RedHat systems even with redhat_lsb package
installed I've started to convert and take over most part of the
script.

1. create a file /etc/init.d/celeryd with the following content:

#!/bin/bash
#
# celeryd
#
# chkconfig: - 80 05
# description: celery daemon
#

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: celeryd
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $network $rabbitmq-server $httpd
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $network $rabbitmq-server $httpd
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop:
# Description: celery daemon
# Short-Description: Enable Django AMQP service
### END INIT INFO

# config: /etc/sysconfig/celery
# pidfile: /var/run/celeryd.pid

# source function library
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# pull in sysconfig settings
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/celeryd ] && . /etc/sysconfig/celeryd

RETVAL=0
prog="celeryd"

# Some functions to make the below more readable
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=<DJANGO_SETTINGS>
CELERYD_PID_FILE="/var/run/celeryd.pid"
CELERYD_LOG_FILE="/var/log/celeryd.log"
CELERYD_LOG_LEVEL="INFO"
DEFAULT_CELERYD="celeryd"

export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
export DJANGO_PROJECT_DIR

if [ -z "$CELERYD" ]; then
if [ ! -z "$DJANGO_PROJECT_DIR" ]; then
CELERYD="python2.6 $DJANGO_PROJECT_DIR/manage.py"
CELERYD_OPTS="celeryd $CELERYD_OPTS"
else
CELERYD=$DEFAULT_CELERYD
fi
fi

cd $DJANGO_PROJECT_DIR

CELERYD_OPTS="$CELERYD_OPTS -f $CELERYD_LOG_FILE -l
$CELERYD_LOG_LEVEL"

if [ -n "$2" ]; then
CELERYD_OPTS="$CELERYD_OPTS $2"
fi

exec="$CELERYD $CELERYD_OPTS &"

start()
{
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
daemon --pidfile=$CELERYD_PID_FILE $exec
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ "$RETVAL" = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/celeryd
return $RETVAL
}

stop()
{
echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
killproc -d 10 $exec -TERM
RETVAL=$?
if [ "x$runlevel" = x0 -o "x$runlevel" = x6 ] ; then
killall $exec 2>/dev/null
fi
echo
[ "$RETVAL" = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/celeryd /var/run/celeryd
return $RETVAL
}

case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
stop
start
;;
status)
status celeryd
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
RETVAL=1
esac
exit $RETVAL

2. Make the file executable
3. Create the file /etc/sysconfig/celeryd with the DJANGO_PROJECT_DIR
variable
4. run chkconfig --add celeryd
5. and finally chkconfig celeryd on to enable at system reboot.

That's all for now, any modifications, extensions or corrections are
warmly welcome :)

Thanks. This was really useful.

The only thing I'd add to this is that I'd either put
DJANGO_PROJECT_DIR right into this script and forget about /etc/
sysconfig/celeryd or break even more things out into /etc/sysconfig/
celeryd such as DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE more like the debian script.
Overall, this saved me rolling my own from the debian script.

This should probably be added to github under the contrib section.

A couple of potential problems:

* A pid is never written to $CELERYD_PID_FILE
* status doesn't appear to work if celeryd is started with "python2.6
$DJANGO_PROJECT_DIR/manage.py"
