Hi Simon,
Here is a shorter patch, that implements the pcscd restart in a
policy-compliant fashion. This uses invoke-rc.d directly, without checking
if pcscd is already running. This does carry the possibility that pcscd
will be started when it's not already running, but only in circumstances
that pcscd's own maintainer scripts would do the same: i.e., in a runlevel
where the service is configured to start but the admin has manually stopped
it and there is no policy-rc.d configured.
So there's no reason to take extra steps to check for the running process
beforehand, because 'restart' already does what's expected under policy.
(Note that, if the package supported 'reload' that would be sufficient; but
it doesn't, so 'force-reload' is equivalent to 'restart' *except* that
invoke-rc.d doesn't honor runlevel policies for 'force-reload'.)
As this patch fixes the bug and is a straightforward implementation of
policy, I'm going to go ahead shortly with an NMU to incoming.
Thanks,
