Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.86.ds1-64 Severity: important Hi
Starting with sysvinit-utils 2.86.ds1-64, pidof got broken and does not
list process IDs anymore.
$ /bin/pidof sshd
$ /bin/pidof /usr/sbin/sshd
$ /bin/pidof -c sshd
$ /bin/pidof -c /usr/sbin/sshd
Disabling just 85_killall_safecwd.dpatch (added in svn r1373) from current
svn trunk (r1400) re-establishes the expected behaviour.
$ /tmp/pkg/pidof sshd
21273 21270 3148
$ /tmp/pkg/pidof /usr/sbin/sshd
21273 21270 3148
$ /tmp/pkg/pidof -c sshd
21273 21270 3148
$ /tmp/pkg/pidof -c /usr/sbin/sshd
21273 21270 3148
I am choosing severity=important, because pidof is used in many initscripts
and might have a serious impact on services relying on its output.
Regards
