Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.2
Severity: minor
I was trying (and failing) to start a Python paster instance inside a
virtualenv like this:
start-stop-daemon -u useridhere --chdir /srv/virtualenv_path --exec
bin/paster --start -- serve development.ini
It took me a while to figure out what the problem was, but with some
help from strace I figured out that start-stop-daemon stats for the
existence of the executable before doing the chdir, something which
certainly was not obvious to me initially...
It would be nice if executables specified as relative paths together
with a --chdir worked more intuitively. Can I suggest either moving the
chdir call before the stat(fullexecname), or modifying the logic that
builds fullexecname so that it takes into account the value of the
--chdir option too (if one was passed).
Thanks,
Christian
