Package: dsyslog Version: 0.5.0 Severity: minor 1. Restart doesn't restart properly:
if dsyslog is stopped, and you issue a restart action, a new line fails to print a new line: pond:/home/micah# /etc/init.d/dsyslog stop Stopping system logging daemon: dsyslog. pond:/home/micah# /etc/init.d/dsyslog restart Restarting system logging daemon: dsyslogpond:/home/micah# and dsyslog is not started. The reason is because there is a 'set -e' in the initscript, and when dsyslog is not running and the following is run in the stop_server function: start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/dsyslog.pid --exec /usr/sbin/dsyslog the result code is 1, causing the set -e to trigger. Rather than removing the 'set -e', I would suggest that you add the --oknodo flag to the start-stop-daemon call. 2. DIETIME is wrong At the top of the file is the variable "DODTIME=10", but that variable is never referenced, however the variable DIETIME is. I believe the DODTIME should be DIETIME. Also, 10 seconds seems a bit long, can that be dropped down a little? Maybe include DIETIME in /etc/defaults as an example parameter?
