This is certainly about related software, as the package is using s-s-d explicitly. This is not what critical is for, please do not escalate bug severities. > It seems that start-stop-daemon no longer creates a PID file, at least > when called like this: > start-stop-daemon --start --oknodo --chuid debian-sks:debian-sks > --make-pidfile --pidfile $SKSDBPID --exec $DAEMON -- db & > > as you can guess, this from the init script from sks. > > Trying it manually (of course with setting the variables) doesn't help > either. > The daemon is started but /var/run/sks (which is owned by debian-sks) > remains empty. This is certainly a regression in s-s-d. It does still create a pidfile when using --background. I do have to wonder why the init script is not using --background though, because otherwise any error from it will not be noticed at all by the shell, because it detaches the process itself. I'm fixing this for 1.17.19, but I'd advise to switch to use --background anyway. Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
