Package: lsb-base Version: 3.0-4 Severity: normal Right now, the daemon name is thrown away, after a short check for the pidfile. Using the binary name would allow start-stop-daemon to look for instances of a daemon in cases where there is no pidfile.
Changing: if [ ! $pidfile ]; then pidfile=/var/run/$(basename "$1").pid fi if [ $2 ]; then sig=$(echo $2 | sed -e 's/^-\(.*\)/\1/') sig=$(echo $sig | sed -e 's/^SIG\(.*\)/\1/') /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "$pidfile" --signal $sig --quiet status="$?" [ "$status" = 1 ] && return 3 # program is not running return 0 else /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "$pidfile" --retry 5 --quiet --oknodo fi to : if [ ! $pidfile ]; then pidfile=/var/run/$(basename "$1").pid fi if [ $2 ]; then sig=$(echo $2 | sed -e 's/^-\(.*\)/\1/') sig=$(echo $sig | sed -e 's/^SIG\(.*\)/\1/') /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "$pidfile" --signal $sig --quiet status="$?" [ "$status" = 1 ] && return 3 # program is not running return 0 else /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "$pidfile" --retry 5 --quiet --oknodo --exec "$1" fi should do it.
