Nice! "KillMode=mixed" is important here, though. Regarding "reload", in /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/40-systemd included from /lib/lsb/init-functions included from /etc/init.d/lighttpd there is this code:
if [ "$(systemctl -p CanReload show $service 2>/dev/null)" = "CanReload=no" ] && [ "${1:-}" = "reload" ]; then _use_systemctl=0 fi Since `sudo systemctl -p CanReload show lighttpd.service` returns "CanReload=no", "reload" action is not handled by systemd and the code from /etc/init.d/lighttpd is executed. I believe, this should not happen and the only way to properly fix it is to remove "reload" from /etc/init.d/lighttpd completely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1707312 Title: reload does not shut down lighttpd gracefully To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lighttpd/+bug/1707312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
