can’t stop freeradius daemon on Ubuntu 13.10

I have installed freeradius via apt-get and can’t stop freeradius daemon.

# freeradius -v freeradius: FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.12, for host x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, built on Feb 24 2014 at 15:09:01 # /etc/init.d/freeradius stop

radius.log.

# tail -f /var/log/freeradius/radius.log Tue Apr 15 00:36:08 2014 : Info: Ready to process requests. Tue Apr 15 00:22:47 2014 : Info: Signalled to terminate   <- terminate Tue Apr 15 00:22:47 2014 : Info: Exiting normally. Tue Apr 15 00:22:47 2014 : Info: Loaded virtual server <default>  <- start up again Tue Apr 15 00:22:47 2014 : Info: Loaded virtual server inner-tunnel Tue Apr 15 00:22:47 2014 : Info:  ... adding new socket proxy address * port 361

This seems to be caused by that there is no PID file /var/log/freeradius/freeradius.pid.

After creating the pid file for radiusd, I was able to shut down the daemon.

create a PID file and change an owner.

# touch /var/run/freeradius/freeradius.pid # chown freerad.freerad /var/run/freeradius/freeradius.pid

I was able to shut down the daemon.

# /etc/init.d/freeradius stop # tail -f /var/log/freeradius/radius.log Tue Apr 15 00:41:09 2014 : Info: Signalled to terminate Tue Apr 15 00:41:09 2014 : Info: Exiting normally. # lsof -ni:1812 #
