#38495 closed defect (fixed)

cassandra can't be started using launchctl

Component: ports Version: 2.1.3

Port: cassandra

Description (last modified by neverpanic (Clemens Lang))

This appears to be due to at least 2 different bugs.

Firstly there's this one #34221.

java -version hangs in some circumstances if __CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON=1 is not set. This is fixed by adding

    <string>env</string>
    <string>__CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON=1</string>

to the LaunchDaemon plist.

The next problem is (I think) that the /opt/local/share/java/cassandra-1.2.2/conf/cassandra-env.sh script requires /usr/sbin/sysctl but the $PATH it's running in under launchd doesn't have /usr/sbin/.

Manually setting the $PATH in the plist again fixes this but it seems like there's probably a nicer way to do that...

After rebooting and using the above patch for a while, I found it wasn't very reliable. Forcing cassandra to stay foregrounded into daemondo seems to help with this.

What do I have to do to get this merged? I see 1.2.3 has been added without this update now.
