Package: thttpd Severity: wishlist Tags: patch If thttpd dies unexpectedly (and this is something that happens too often), /etc/init.d/thttpd stop|restart will fail, the pidfile will stay, and it will be impossible to restart the daemon unless the pidfile is removed.
This patch makes it tolerant to kill(1) failure. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8)
