Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.88dsf-59
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

start-stop-daemon --name=name-longer-than-15-characters fails on Linux,
because of the 15-character limit on process names.  Other kernels have
similar but different limits, see the conditionals starting at
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/tree/utils/start-stop-daemon.c#n134
Looks like executable names longer than 14 characters are incompatible
with the --name option.  (15 works, but can be mistaken for truncated
longer names.)  Currently the only solution is overriding do_start_cmd()
and do_stop_cmd().  Please proide an easier one.

Thanks,
Feri.
