strace shows: $ sudo strace -f -ekill /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid --retry 5 --quiet --oknodo kill(11205, SIGTERM) = 0 kill(11205, SIG_0) = -1 ESRCH (No such process) /sbin/start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 11205: No such process Process 11216 detached An earlier strace showed the initial SIGTERM to get an ESRCH return code.
