It does have 'exit 0' on the last line. Actually, it doesn't seem to get
past the 'start-stop-daemon' line. :( Here is a snippet:
start)
echo -n "Starting K display manager: "
if getpid && stillrunning; then
echo "already running."
else
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON
-- $ARG && echo "done."
fi
echo "this is only a test by David Roundy."
;;
It prints the "Starting K display manager: ", but doesn't print done. I
can produce this either at startup, or in console mode by running
`/etc/init.d/kdm start`, which does start up kdm and it runs fine, but it
doesn't print done and doesn't return. Then if I hit ^C in the console in
which I typed the `/etc/init.d/kdm start`, it prints the 'done.' and the
test message (and kdm dies).
I am currently at a loss, and ready to take a break for the day. xdm seems
to start and stop just fine (no surprise there, just wanted to make sure I
wasn't going crazy).
