[smokeping-users] Multiple smokeping daemons failure

[srj at netprl.com]

Hi,
We've been running parallel smokeping daemon instances, based on filters
and a single config file.

After an upgrade we now get error messages and only the first daemon
starts.

I'm wondering if support for multiple instances using filters got dropped?
If not, please point out what I need to do to gain back this very
useful function.

Here are some details:

=============
v1.34 is GOOD
=============
smokeping-1.34
rrdtool-1.0.48

cat restart_sp.sh:
#!/bin/sh
sudo killall smokeping
sudo rm /home/cricket/smokeping-data/*.pid
sudo /home/cricket/smokeping/bin/smokeping
--filter="/West_Call_Centers/[A-Z]./"
sudo /home/cricket/smokeping/bin/smokeping
--filter="/West_Business_Offices/[A-Z]./"
sudo /home/cricket/smokeping/bin/smokeping
--filter="/West_Retail_Stores/[A-C]./"
... (many more)

./restart_sp.sh:
### fping seems to report in 1 miliseconds

~/smokeping-data>ls -1

===============
ver 2.0.9 FAILS
===============
smokeping-2.0.9
rrdtool-1.2.13

Using the same filters (and config) as above:

### fping seems to report in 1 milliseconds

Daemonizing /home/cricket/smokeping/bin/smokeping ...
### fping seems to report in 1 milliseconds
Note: logging to syslog as local3/debug.

       Check /home/cricket/smokeping-data/smokeping.pid
### fping seems to report in 1 milliseconds

Thanks!
