Olaf, i'm not sure if i get this correctly: --oknodo is specified and behaves correctly:
unstable:/home/sb/mpt-status-1.2.0# /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd start Starting mpt-status monitor: mpt-statusd. So it's running - i kill it now manually to trigger your reported problem and try to stop it now: unstable:/home/sb/mpt-status-1.2.0# /etc/init.d/mpt-statusd stop Stopping mpt-status monitor: mpt-statusdstart-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 2421: No such process . unstable:/home/sb/mpt-status-1.2.0# echo $? 0 So the start-stop-deamon is sending a TERM-signal to mpt-statusd pid which is not successful but due to the fact that we are using --oknodo it still reports exit code 0. It might be easy to suppress the standard error output but i think this is not useful. Ideas?
