Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.88dsf-59.9 Followup-For: Bug #826214 Please forgive my naivety, but simply moving the argument shift part before sourcing /lib/lsb/init-functions seems to successfully redirect to systemctl.
The only variable leaking to /lib/lsb/init-functions is "script", which can be easily renamed and namespaced in case of a possible problem. After patching /lib/init/init-d-script, both /etc/init.d/<...> start and "service <...> start" shows up correctly in "systemctl status <...>" output. --- /lib/init/init-d-script.orig 2018-01-09 21:25:41.763183856 +0000 +++ /lib/init/init-d-script 2018-01-09 22:38:48.463185948 +0000 @@ -5,6 +5,8 @@ # Depend on lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) to ensure that this file is present # and status_of_proc is working. +script="$1" +shift . /lib/lsb/init-functions # PATH should only include /usr/* if it runs after the mountnfs.sh @@ -154,11 +156,9 @@ set -x fi -SCRIPTNAME=$1 -scriptbasename="$(basename $1)" +SCRIPTNAME="$script" +scriptbasename="$(basename "$script")" if [ "$scriptbasename" != "init-d-script" ] ; then - script="$1" - shift . $script else exit 0 Is there anything wrong with this approach? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64, armhf Kernel: Linux 4.4.91-mert (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages sysvinit-utils depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii util-linux 2.29.2-1 sysvinit-utils recommends no packages. sysvinit-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
