Package: thttpd Version: 2.23beta1-5 Severity: important
The grep-commands in 'ps ax | grep -q "^$PID"' in /etc/init.d/thttpd is wrong. Since the process-numbers in the first column of "ps ax" are right-aligned, this command often doesn't find the process-number. This results in wrongly reporting that thttpd is not running, and so starting/stopping/restarting/etc. sometimes does not work. Additionally, in combination with logrotate, thttpd is not restarted after logfile-rotation, which causes thttpd to write its logs to a deleted file. Solution: The problem can be solved by replacing the above grep-command each time it appears in /etc/init.d/thttpd by: 'ps ax | grep -q "^ *$PID"' -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (60, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages thttpd depends on: ii libc6 2.7-14 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii logrotate 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility thttpd recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
