Should be fixed, but no one seems to care. Pity. Marking closed. Changelog excerpt (first bullet addresses this one):
sysvinit (2.87dsf-4ubuntu18) maverick; urgency=low * Allocate pidof/killall5 omitpid buffers dynamically. 16 is too small for killall5 now that all Upstart jobs are omitted. * Create /lib/init/rw as a symlink to /var/run on new installations, and fix it up in /etc/init.d/umountroot on upgrade, as it's difficult to do this at any other time; this saves us chasing around all the individual packages that use one or the other for sendsigs.omit.d (LP: #541512). * Handle /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d explicitly, just in case. -- Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com> Fri, 24 Sep 2010 10:48:28 +0100 ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- killall5 fails on more than 16 "-o <pid>" parameters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634460 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
