Since Ubuntu uses upstart, the correct interface to manage services is with the "service" command, not by calling init.d scripts directly.
dovecot in Trusty is managed by an upstart script. This is defined in /etc/init/dovecot.conf. That /etc/init.d/dovecot doesn't exist is by design, so I'm marking this bug as Invalid. If you disagree, please explain and change the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: dovecot (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319817 Title: dovecot 2.2.9-1ubuntu2 misses init script to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dovecot/+bug/1319817/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
