Hello,
The status function of the init script does not test if the daemons are
enabled. In my configuration snmptrapd is disabled
in /etc/default/snmpd.
----
TRAPDRUN=no
----
Which means that in my setup, snmptrapd not running should be normal;
however the init status exits with exit code 3:
----
~# /etc/init.d/snmpd status
snmpd is running.
snmptrapd is not running ... failed!
~# echo $?
3
----
This makes it impossible for applications relying on the init status
exit code to function correctly (e.g. puppet).
I have attached a patch that tests the /etc/default/snmpd values in the
status function; in my case:
----
~# /etc/init.d/snmpd status
snmpd is running.
~# echo $?
0
----
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ignace M
