Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.9~rc2-7
Severity: minor
Hi.
Fetchmail installs an initscript and it complains too loudly to the
system administrator when it does not run as a daemon:
,----
| chagas:~# /etc/init.d/fetchmail stop
| Pidfile not found! Is fetchmail running? ... failed!
| chagas:~#
`----
The message above should be printed only if it is configured to run as a
daemon. In all other cases, it is explicitly not running and the
"failed" message is inappropriate (especially the tone of the message).
I could mail a patch, but this is so obvious that it would be a waste.
The message emmited by the start action is much more palatable.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
