Package: slim
Version: 1.3.0-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
The following happens when slim has been started but no X session is
launched (user not yet logged in or user already logged out).
'kill -TERM pid' (where pid is pid number for slim daemon) does not
stop slim.
The command in the /etc/init.d/slim script:
'start-stop-daemon --stop --pid-file /var/run/slim.lock --name slim
--retry TERM/5/TERM/5' fails with:
"Program slim, 1 process(es), refused to die"
As a consequence 'invoke-rc.d slim stop' fails with:
"slim not responding to TERM signals"
(same with 'invoke-rc.d slim restart')
The only way I found for stopping slim in such case is to use:
'kill -9 pid' (but it does not even stop the X server process).
When a X session has been launched (user logged in) the daemon is
stopped (with X server stopped also) by 'invoke-rc.d slim
stop' as expected.
Best regards,
Pascal Dormeau

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/501828 in Debian BTS
against the package slim. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/538921. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
