dev scripts must be started from the dev directory

[mohierf]

Currently the scripts delivered in the ./dev directory of the alignak repo must be launched from the './dev directory elses they do not run properly because the cannot find the used alignak.ini file located in the ../etc directory

[mohierf]

Those scripts are not indended to be used as is for a production server ... they are delivered as examples to build your own alignak scripts.

The main idea behind those scripts is to build an alignak.ini configuration file that declares all the daemons to be started and to have a launch_all.sh script that uses this file to run all the declared daemons with the configuration specified in the alignak.ini file ...

Perharps we should receive the alignak.ini file as the only parameter of launch_all.sh script ?

./launch_all.sh -c /usr/local/etc/alignak/alignak.ini
./stop_all.sh -c /usr/local/etc/alignak/alignak.ini

1. the file "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/alignak/bin/alignak_environment.py" is not used,
   only those from the git directory.
2. log and pid files are created in the "dev" directory
3. Stop must be executed twice, poller & reactionner are still being executed

4. No checks are executed

Thanks for reporting.

for some of your comments I do not have the same behavior on my system ... I will give a try tomorrow

@spea1:
For 1., I updated the setup script to create an alignak-environment script that I will use in the dev scripts
For 2. I updated the start / stop scripts and it is ok as of now
For 3. I already logged an issue: #673 but I do not know why this happens ...
For 4.. Nothing to deal with the scripts ... perharps a directory problem. Give a try with the most recent updates to confirm if it is still occuring
