Hello, in order to reproduce the bug, I can compare two commands:
1st command sudo /usr/bin/daemon --noconfig --name bcron-start /usr/sbin/bcron-start this one lauches bcron-start as a daemon, and syslog reports that bcron-start exited with 111 status. This one is actually launched, considering that it is part of the file debian/contrib/syslog/bcron-sched, which matters, as it is considered by the file debian/rules, during the build of the package. 2nd command sudo /usr/sbin/bcron-start that one launches bcron-start as a foreground process, and it works. -------- I found a clue! When one launches sudo /usr/bin/daemon --noconfig /usr/sbin/bcron-start omitting the parameter "--name bcron-start", the process bcron-start is launched as a daemon, and no exception with code 111 is emitted. However, as the daemon is not named and has no pidfile, one cannot stop it easily: one must find its pid and then stop it with kill -KILL. Does this weird behavior remind you anything, Tomas ? Best regards, Georges.
