Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.88dsf-59.3 Control: tags -1 patch the fix for #822674 had a caveat, because status_of_proc cannot parse options after the first non-option argument, as it uses getopts
a simple test, where /run/crond.pid contains a running pid: $ . /lib/lsb/init-functions $ status_of_proc -p /run/crond.pid /non/existant/filename name [ ok ] name is running. $ status_of_proc /non/existant/filename name -p /run/crond.pid [FAIL] name is not running ... failed! usually it works because it checks the command name only, omitting the pidfile check at all: $ status_of_proc /usr/sbin/cron name -p /non/existant/filename [ ok ] name is running. please see the attached patch ciao!
