I've got this script:

NAME=varnishncsa
DAEMON=/usr/bin/$NAME
DAEMON_OPTS="-a -f -w ${LOGFILE} -D -P ${PIDFILE}"

# Include defaults if available
if [ -f /etc/default/$NAME ] ; then
        . /etc/default/$NAME
fi

# If unset, or set to "0" or "no", exit
if [ -z "${VARNISHNCSA_ENABLED}" ] || \
   [ "${VARNISHNCSA_ENABLED}" = "0" ] || \
   [ "${VARNISHNCSA_ENABLED}" = "no" ]; then
  exit 0;
fi

test -x "$DAEMON" || exit 0

start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS


DAEMON_OPTS in /etc/default/daemon_opts contains:

DAEMON_OPTS="-F \"{ \\\"remote_addr\\\": \\\"%h\\\",\\\"remote_user\\\": \\\"%u\\\",\\\"x_forwarded_for\\\": \\\"%{X-Forwarded-For}i\\\",\\\"hit_miss\\\": \\\"%{Varnish:hitmiss}x\\\",\\\"body_bytes_sent\\\": \\\"%b\\\",\\\"request_time\\\": \\\"%{Varnish:time_firstbyte}x\\\",\\\"status\\\": \\\"%s\\\",\\\"request\\\": \\\"%r\\\",\\\"host\\\": \\\"%{host}i\\\",\\\"request_method\\\": \\\"%m\\\",\\\"time_first_byte\\\": \\\"%{Varnish:time_firstbyte}x\\\",\\\"handling\\\": \\\"%{Varnish:handling}x\\\",\\\"http_referrer\\\": \\\"%{Referrer}i\\\",\\\"http_user_agent\\\": \\\"%{User-agent}i\\\"}\""


The ps tree 'ps auxww | grep -i ncsa' shows this:

/usr/bin/varnishncsa -F "{ \"remote_addr\": \"%h\",\"remote_user\": \"%u\",\"x_forwarded_for\": \"%{X-Forwarded-For}i\",\"hit_miss\": \"%{Varnish:hitmiss}x\",\"body_bytes_sent\": \"%b\",\"request_time\": \"%{Varnish:time_firstbyte}x\",\"status\": \"%s\",\"request\": \"%r\",\"host\": \"%{host}i\",\"request_method\": \"%m\",\"time_first_byte\": \"%{Varnish:time_firstbyte}x\",\"handling\": \"%{Varnish:handling}x\",\"http_referrer\": \"%{Referrer}i\",\"http_user_agent\": \"%{User-agent}i\"}"

Which should work for this application, but only outputs "{

When the command is run directly in the bash terminal it looks like this:


root@myserver:~# /usr/bin/varnishncsa -F "{ \"remote_addr\": \"%h\",\"remote_user\": \"%u\",\"x_forwarded_for\": \"%{X-Forwarded-For}i\",\"hit_miss\": \"%{Varnish:hitmiss}x\",\"body_bytes_sent\": \"%b\",\"request_time\": \"%{Varnish:time_firstbyte}x\",\"status\": \"%s\",\"request\": \"%r\",\"host\": \"%{host}i\",\"request_method\": \"%m\",\"time_first_byte\": \"%{Varnish:time_firstbyte}x\",\"handling\": \"%{Varnish:handling}x\",\"http_referrer\": \"%{Referrer}i\",\"http_user_agent\": \"%{User-agent}i\"}"

{ "remote_addr": "x.x.x.x","remote_user": "-","x_forwarded_for": "x.x.x.x","hit_miss": "hit","body_bytes_sent": "5105","request_time": "0.000234365","status": "200","request": "GET some_website_image.jpg HTTP/1.1","host": "myhost.com","request_method": "GET","time_first_byte": "0.000234365","handling": "hit","http_referrer": "-","http_user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/536.26.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.2 Safari/536.26.17"}

As you can see the above example when used directly on the commandline works just fine. It is only when I put it inside a wrapper that things go to hell for me.
