There are two processes associated with openntpd: r...@prana:~$ ps auxw | grep ntpd root 4216 0.0 0.0 3560 820 ? Ss 13:25 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd ntpd 4217 0.0 0.1 4804 1304 ? S 13:25 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd
The one started as 'root' forks the other one (running as 'ntpd'). If we could ask start-stop-daemon to send the TERM signal only to the process running as 'root', then the parent would orderly terminate its child process (running as 'ntpd') and there would be no error messages. As it turns out, start-stop-daemon has a --user option which can be used to select only those processes which are running as a given user. Therefore, I added `--user root' to the start-stop-daemon --stop calls of the init script, and the problem disappeared. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
