Severity: minor
File: /sbin/start-stop-daemon
Hi,
$ sudo /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/ser2net.pid --retry 5
--quiet --oknodo --verbose
Stopped process in pidfile /var/run/ser2net.pid' (pid 15061).
/sbin/start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 15061: No such process
The daemon is, however, dead since the first kill attempt killed it
successfully. s-s-d did not look at the daemon, but at the pidfile.
This is a rather common cause of grief since /lib/lsb/init-function's
killproc uses --retry 5 if no Signal is explicitly given on the
command line.
I have also filed a bug against lsb-base (#451529) for this to be
addressed in killproc as well.
Greetings
Marc

This has been fixed in dpkg 1.14.15:
* Do not print 'failed to kill' warning in start-stop-daemon when polling
the pid. Closes: #157305, #352554
Thanks to Samuel Thibault.
