Package: watchdog Version: 5.4-10lenny2 Severity: important When stopping watchdog with its init script, it starts the wd_keepalive daemon. However, it starts wd_keepalive with options in the "watchdog_options" variable. This is not right, because wd_keepalive accepts only one option, the -c, but watchdog can use much more command line options, and when specifying an option other than -c, wd_keepalive fails to start. eg.: I have watchdog_options="-v" in my /etc/default/watchdog, to enable syslog logging. Now when I stop watchdog with its init script, wd_keepalive is called with the -v option and it fails to start: # invoke-rc.d watchdog stop Stopping watchdog daemon: asdwatchdog. Starting watchdog keepalive daemon: /usr/sbin/wd_keepalive: invalid option -- v wd_keepalive version 5.4, usage: wd_keepalive
# pgrep -lf wd_keepalive # pgrep -lf watchdog Although I'm reporting this from a machine using 'testing' this bug is presented on stable too, and I'm rather concerned about it than about testing. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
