Package: fam Version: 2.7.0-14 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
The current init script always reports it fails before actually starting FAM. This is because the status is checked when starting, and if FAM is not already started, lsb will logs a failure message. Here is a short patch "fixing" this: --- /etc/init.d/fam.orig 2009-07-29 19:59:50.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/init.d/fam 2009-07-29 19:59:14.000000000 +0200 @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ case "$1" in start) - status_of_proc $DAEMON $NAME && exit 0 + status_of_proc $DAEMON $NAME >/dev/null && exit 0 log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- $FAMOPTS < /dev/null log_end_msg $? However, I think it would be much better informing the user what's happening. Something like Starting File Alteration Monitor: FAM already running ...
