Hi there!
openvpn's init script has the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
78 start)
79 log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC"
80
81 # autostart VPNs
82 if test -z "$2" ; then
83 # check if automatic startup is disabled by AUTOSTART=none
84 if test "x$AUTOSTART" = "xnone" -o -z "$AUTOSTART" ; then
85 log_warning_msg " Autostart disabled."
86 exit 0
87 fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Here is the output:
=====
root@gismo:/etc# service openvpn start
Starting virtual private network daemon:Autostart disabled. ... (warning).
root@gismo:/etc#
=====
As you can see, the leading space is not respected. I think this is
because log_warning_msg calls log_begin_msg, which actually uses
`/bin/echo -n "$@"` instead of adding a leading space before $@, as in
log_progress_msg. The latter is IMHO more correct, given that there is
no *begin* message to be displayed.
However, this breaks other init scripts like rsync:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
120 reload|force-reload)
121 log_warning_msg "Reloading rsync daemon: not needed, as the
daemon"
122 log_warning_msg "re-reads the config file whenever a client
connects."
123 ;;
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So I do not really how this should be solved :-(
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
