Hi, what's the status of this bug ?
This bug is still present in etch and breaks init scripts which use killproc() function from lsb-base (like #407929). killproc() from lsb-base is just a frontend to start-stop-daemon. As it has been said in previous comments for this bug, Samuel Thibault's patch (#157305) mostly fix this wrong behaviour. Is it planed to merge his patch ? this command shows how to reproduce the bug : xclock & echo $! > /tmp/xclock.pid && sleep 2 && /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /tmp/xclock.pid --retry 5 cheers, -- Emmanuel Bouthenot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
