Hi! Currently, service(8) is passing LANG (and LC_* for the version in experimental) to the init script. However, this makes starting the init script into a variable environment. When a user using LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 will restart a service, the service will switch to German. When someone with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, the service will switch to French. Another possible consequence is a service that will expect different inputs. For example, when using fscanf(3) with LC_NUMERIC set to fr_FR, floating-point numbers will expect a comma instead of a dot. This may trigger difficult to diagnose bugs in some software. I remember getting that with snmpd. Therefore, I think this is better to use a fixed value from /etc/default/locale. - -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sysvinit-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.18-6 ii libselinux1 2.3-1 ii startpar 0.59-3 sysvinit-utils recommends no packages.
