*** Please type your report below this line ***
The init.d.lsb.ex file setup by dh-make has a few bugs in it:
- STARTIME is declared at the start of the script, but the body of the
script uses STARTTIME (extra "T")
- The script uses set -e, but many parts of the script assume that the
script won't terminate when non-zero is returned.
Here is how I fixed it in my packages setup with dh_make:
Change code like this in init.d:
do_something
log_end_msg $?
To this:
errcode=0
do_something || errcode=$?
log_end_msg $errcode
- init.d doesn't work well when the service is an interpreted script
instead of a binary. Here is how I fixed it for my Python service:
(near top of script, before DAERMON= line)
INTERP=/usr/bin/python2.5
In stop_server(), use $INTERP as the start-stop-daermon --exec
option.
In running_pid(), have this code:
cmd=`cat /proc/$pid/cmdline | tr "\000" "\n" | head -n 2`
NL="
"
# Is this the expected server
[ "$cmd" != "${INTERP}${NL}$DAEMON" ] && return 1
