I have not looked closer but it may have something in it.
=========================================================
Implemented something easy but useful. Especially useful if you haven't
already figured out the hard way where these things are kept.
Added output to /etc/init.d/functions (used by all kinds of Mandrake
scripts) to tell you _where_ the lockfile/pid file is, instead of just
giving you a cryptic message and leaving you to guess at the name of the
thing and then go find and delete/investigate it.
Wasn't thinking far enough ahead to save a version of the original and
do a
diff to make a patch (I guess that's how you'd make a patch... never
done
it...)
But patching is easy:
at or around line 372
change
gprintf "%s dead but pid file exists\n"${base} (or similar... I
reverse
engineered this)
to
gprintf "%s dead but pid file /var/run/%s.pid exists\n" ${base} ${base}
at or around line 378
change
gprintf "%s dead but subsys locked\n" ${base}
to
gprintf "%s dead but subsys (/var/lock/subsys/%s) locked\n" ${base}
