Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.25 Severity: normal start-stop-daemon --background forks once, not twice. Because of this, sometimes the ppid of the launched won't be properly set to 1. This is unfortunate in my case, where I want to fix the init.d script of imapproxy (which doesn't have pidfile support) using --background: imapproxy will actually do the double-fork&setsid dance when ppid!=1, and this will this way actually happen sometimes, causing the pidfile written out by s-s-d to be wrong.
For lenny, it'd be really cool if s-s-d could do the double-fork thingy, so that the --background option (which is nearly always a workaround anyway) will become a reliable, proper workaround. --Jeroen -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-xen-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dpkg recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
