You may need to stop/start each service individually to find the culprit. We can reassign this bug accordingly when you do. Hm... I tried the two immediately preceding (K57)smartd, which happen to be smartmontools and rpcbind, and they also work well. I have /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering, so scripts should run one at a time. Is it possible that the start/ stop functions work differently when many daemons have been stopped? BTW, there are several scripts using --name; I have: # grep -l -- --name /etc/init.d/* | wc -l 21 # grep -l -- --exec /etc/init.d/* | wc -l 37 Best Ale

I do not experience this when running under sysvinit on Debian 12 with the following package versions: ii init-system-helpers 1.65.2 all helper tools for all init systems ii spamd 4.0.0-6 all Server for SpamAssassin spam filtering daemon ii sysvinit-core 3.06-4 amd64System-V-like init When stopping spamd, there is no indication of any delay or other issue terminating spamd. Manual termination: root@debian-sysv:~# /etc/init.d/spamd status spamd is running. root@debian-sysv:~# /etc/init.d/spamd stop Stopping SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: spamd. root@debian-sysv:~# /etc/init.d/spamd status spamd is not running ... failed! Console output on shutdown: root@debian-sysv:~# /etc/init.d/spamd status spamd is running. root@debian-sysv:~# shutdown -h now ... Stopping SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: spamd. ... What is the specific warning you're seeing? Is spamd actually running when the init script is executing? noah
Bug#1063758: spamd: /etc/init.d/spamd still uses --name instead of --exec
Package: spamd Version: 4.0.0-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, /etc/init.d/spamd still uses --name instead of --exec. This is noticeable on shutdown, what the system waits for some time trying to kill spamd, and then complains something about its inability to track process names and suggests to use --exec injstead.
