Package: mldonkey-server Version: 2.8.1-1 Severity: important Basically, the stop action of the init script doesn't seem to want to stop the daemon, or if it does, only after a long time after the script finishes. For example:
whitehawk:~# /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server start Starting MLDonkey: mlnet. whitehawk:~# ps ax | grep mlnet 1827 ? SN 0:00 /usr/bin/mldonkey_server --start --daemon --pidfile /var/run/mldonkey/mlnet.pid --chdir /var/lib/mldonkey --chgid mldonkey --umask 0002 --nice 10 --max-alive 48 --chuid mldonkey 1832 ?

RNl 0:10 /usr/bin/mlnet 1866 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep mlnet It seems you need at least two tries with stop to make the mldonkey_server process to go away, but this last mlnet process seems to want to take a very long time before stopping. The init script must be written so that before the stop action finishes, all the relevant processes have actually disappeared. This half-stopped process also confuses the start action: whitehawk:~# /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server start Starting MLDonkey: mlnet file[s] should no exist: /var/lib/mldonkey/mlnet.pid -- delete it first whitehawk:~# ps ax | grep mlnet 1832 ? RNl 0:40 /usr/bin/mlnet 1874 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep mlnet whitehawk:~# /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server start Starting MLDonkey: mlnet file[s] should no exist: /var/lib/mldonkey/mlnet.pid -- delete it first This shouldn't happen: Either the process is already running, then there should be no error, or the process is not running, then it should be started. Needless to say, the restart action is also broken completely as a consequence of these problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
