Running More Than One Instance Of A Service

[dave]

I use sysutils/apcupsd to monitor a few different APC UPS units. I want to start three different instances of the apcupsd service, each using a different config file.

The services all start on boot, no problem there, but the pid files are not being written correctly. The only pid file is /var/run/apcupsd and it contains the pid for the most recently started service (the last pid). So, while the services start OK, I am unable to stop or restart them, because the pids don't exist.

What am I missing?

Here's what I have:

/etc/rc.conf

#
#	APC UPS
#
apcupsd0_enable="YES"
apcupsd0_pidfile="/var/run/apcupsd0.pid"
apcupsd0_lockfile="/var/spool/lock/apcupsd0.lock"
apcupsd0_flags="-f /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd0.conf"

apcupsd1_enable="YES"
apcupsd1_pidfile="/var/run/apcupsd1.pid"
apcupsd1_lockfile="/var/spool/lock/apcupsd1.lock"
apcupsd1_flags="-f /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd1.conf"

apcupsd2_enable="YES"
apcupsd2_pidfile="/var/run/apcupsd2.pid"
apcupsd2_lockfile="/var/spool/lock/apcupsd2.lock"
apcupsd2_flags="-f /usr/local/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd2.conf"

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apcupsd2

Thanks!
