Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1+b1 Severity: important When restarting my server, bind9's init script got into a loop where it complained "waiting for process <pid> to die". Fortunately, I was present for the restart and could look at the console to figure out why it was not restarting properly. Since Ctrl-C and Ctrl-\ did not work, I was forced to simply press the reset button.
If the process doesn't die after, say, 10 seconds, you should probably either try to kill it again, or failing that, just let killall5 take care of it. Preventing an otherwise-successful restart by looping for a process that is going to die anyway does not seem like a good idea. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
