Package: nagios3 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal The current behaviour of the init script is to quietly succeed a service restart when there is a configuration error, but without restarting the service.
While this prevents the service from randomly stopping, it doesn't tell users that there is actually a problem. The init script should prevent nagios from being restarted when there is a config error (as it is now), but it should output the error and exit with an error status. One use case for this: when restarting the service through Puppet, it believes the service restart was successful, even though nothing really happened and there was an error in the configuration. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nagios3 depends on: ii nagios3-cgi 3.2.1-2 cgi files for nagios3 ii nagios3-core 3.2.1-2 A host/service/network monitoring nagios3 recommends no packages.
