Package: netdata Version: 1.5.0+dfsg-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The init scripts provided with this package do not seem to work properly. I reported this bug upstream at https://github.com/firehol/netdata/issues/2135, but the init scripts provided with this package have been modified for Debian so I'm not sure where the issue first arose. The directory "/var/run/netdata" is not created by default on my system. Creating it and chowning to netdata:netdata had no effect. Running `service netdata restart` results in the following output: [ ok ] Stopping the netdata daemon...done (not running - there is no /var/run/netdata/netdata.pid). [....] Starting the netdata daemon...2017-05-02 19:55:59: netdata: ERROR: IPv4 bind() on ip '127.0.0.1' port 19999 failed.

Running `service netdata stop` results in the following output: [ ok ] Stopping the netdata daemon...done (not running - there is no /var/run/netdata/netdata.pid). A netdata instance is running normally in the background in both cases. Running `service netdata start` works as expected. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages netdata depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u7 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-8 ii libuuid1 2.25.2-6 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii netdata-data 1.5.0+dfsg-4 ii python 2.7.9-1 ii python-yaml 3.11-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages netdata recommends: pn nodejs <none> netdata suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/netdata/netdata.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
