Package: gkrellmd
Version: 2.3.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #475932
I'm in the process of running apt-get upgrade and have been prompted to replace
my /etc/init.d/gkrellmd. The diff reports
- start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
- --exec $DAEMON -- --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid $DAEMON_OPTS
+ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/gkrellmd.pid \
+ --exec $DAEMON -m -b -- $DAEMON_OPTS
echo "$NAME."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "
- start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
- --exec $DAEMON
+ start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid
+
My start is correct, the one that is trying to be put in won't work. Putting
--pidfile as an option to start-stop-daemon for an application that deamonizes
on it's own (like gkrellmd) rather than using start-stop-daemon --background
will fail to create the pidfile because start-stop-daemon see the daemonized
process as having exited and thus not having a pid (even though it is really in
the background, not a true exit).
grekllm takes --pidfile as an argument and can create the necessary pidfile
without start-stop-daemon, and that is what I do.
