Call the init script directly?
I'm not sure I have a particularly good one. Other daemons e.g. postfix use the daemon directly for this e.g. "postfix flush", rather than extending the init script. In general, the actions that the init scripts and tools allow are restricted to the usual start/stop/restart/reload/status etc. and our tools don't support extra actions (though it's certainly possible to add them). For cases where you want to send commands to the daemon that are not one of the above, it's really not in the (existing) intended scope of an init script. For the time being, I think signalling the running daemon directly is probably OK. If supporting extended stuff across init systems is needed, then we can certainly look at how best to address this in invoke-rc.d, init scripts, etc. in jessie. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
