[Bug 1400495] Re: init-checkconf returns seemingly random results
Same here in the land of Ubuntu 16.04. Please fix this! Sometimes it works, sometimes don't. I didn't touch the .conf file bat it is opened in the text editor. ✘ lheck@moon ~/Desktop init-checkconf /etc/init/gaph.conf File /etc/init/gaph.conf: syntax ok lheck@moon ~/Desktop init-checkconf /etc/init/gaph.conf File /etc/init/gaph.conf: syntax ok lheck@moon ~/Desktop init-checkconf /etc/init/gaph.conf ERROR: File /etc/init/gaph.conf: syntax invalid: ✘ lheck@moon ~/Desktop init-checkconf /etc/init/gaph.conf ERROR: File /etc/init/gaph.conf: syntax invalid: -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400495 Title: init-checkconf returns seemingly random results To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1400495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1400495] Re: init-checkconf returns seemingly random results
Actually, it seems there isn't anything in particular about being in a script that causes init-checkconf to return random results.
