Severity: wishlist
Hi,
when trying to figure out why a daemon does not start, it would be
helpful to see the messages that are normally supressed in init scripts
by virtue of passing '--quiet' to start-stop-daemon. Unfortunately, this
choice is hardcoded into every script. Instead, it would be preferential
to instead pass eg. ${STARTSTOPOPTIONS:---quiet} (untested) to
start-stop-daemon to allow overriding this flag by eg. '-v' via the
environment. That should imho allow for a minimal-invasive way to run
more or less complex start scripts unaltered, only showing instead of
supressing the messages.
Kind regards,
