OK, this seems to work, setting --exec to the name of Perl, and --startas to the name of the script (one last try did it, apparently): #! /bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/home/wander/wander/LCD/monitor.pl
NAME=wanderLCD
DESC="Wander LCD driver"
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
set -e
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
--exec /usr/bin/perl --startas $DAEMON
echo "$NAME."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
# --quiet
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 15 --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
--exec /usr/bin/perl --startas $DAEMON
echo "$NAME."
;;
restart|force-reload)
echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile \
/var/run/$NAME.pid --exec /usr/bin/perl --startas $DAEMON
sleep 1
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile \
/var/run/$NAME.pid --exec /usr/bin/perl --startas $DAEMON
echo "$NAME."
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
# echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
In the Perl script, I have something like: BEGIN {
# Fork.
my $pidFile = '/var/run/wanderLCD.pid';
my $pid = fork;
if ($pid) # parent: save PID
{
open PIDFILE, ">$pidFile" or die "can't open $pidFile: $!\n";
print PIDFILE $pid;
close PIDFILE;
exit 0;
}
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
