Hmm, it could be a race condition with start-stop-daemon exiting before the 2ping process it forks shows up in /proc. Could you try uncommenting this toward the top: #TWOPINGD_STARTTIME=2 and see if you can reproduce? If that's the case, I'll modify the initscript to go "start -> check -> maybe(sleep -> check)" because I don't like the current logic with TWOPINGD_STARTTIME enabled: "start -> sleep -> check". (Why arbitrarily wait and slow down the user's boot time?) Thanks for the report RF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
