If so then it's undocumented behaviour - s-s-d's manpage expects --stop to stop the daemon. In the same way that s-s-d expects the daemon to actually be a daemon instead of a shell script that launches daemons. This change was made months ago, has been in ~ARCH for months and only now just appears? This has been in a released baselayout since March 2005. lol A quick grep through the tree shows the following packages using start-stop-daemon to send a HUP signal capisuite dnsmasq (has been changed to kill, but not rev bumped) freeradius netkit-timed proxyper hostapd acpid (has been changed to kill in its ~ARCH version) Whereas all other init scripts that send a HUP use kill or killall - examples are spamassassin and syslog-ng -- Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux Developer
