3.3.6 Actions Before Startup

The statements described in this subsection specify actions to perform immediately before starting the component:

Config: component: chdir dir

Change to the directory dir.

Config: component: remove-file file-name

Remove file-name. This is useful, for example, to remove stale UNIX sockets or pid-files, which may otherwise prevent the component from starting normally.

As of version 1.8 only one remove-file may be given.

Config: component: pass-fd-timeout number

Wait number of seconds for the ‘pass-fd’ socket to become available (see Meta1-Style Components). Default is 5 seconds.
