Package: distributed-net
Version: 2.9001.478-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

/etc/init.d/distributed-net fails to stop the client if run from a
non-interactive shell, e.g. if run from a cron job (where the client is
only scheduled to run overnight, for example), then the output of:
"/etc/init.d/distributed-net stop" will be "not running".

This appears to be because the test for running command uses stop-start-daemon
to check, which resides in /sbin which isn't in the path for
non-interactive shells.

So, a fix is to add:
        PATH=/sbin:$PATH
...before the "case" statement in /etc/init.d/distributed-net

and a non-intrusive work-around is to change all calls to the script in
cron or at jobs to:
        PATH=/sbin:$PATH /etc/init.d/distributed-net [start|stop]

I'd have thought that the first option would be less intrusive for all
debian users (since it doesn't require any special operation from
anyone) but I'm not sure of any security / policy implications.

Description: 
 distributed-net - donate unused CPU cycles - client for distributed.net
Closes: 177360 186795 203305 231481 250244 251760
Changes: 
 distributed-net (2.9008.490-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * QA Upload
   * updating to latest upstream (Closes: #251760, #250244)
   * add /sbin to $PATH so that stopping the client works in
     non-interactive shells.  As per suggestion from Colin Watson
     I believe this to be the cause of #231481 as well, or at least, now that
     I've added /sbin to path I cannot reproduce it. (Closes: #203305, #231481)
   * On upgrade, you will need to flush your old buffers and get new ones.
     This is due to an upstream decision. It is not a bug.  Sorry if this
     makes anyone lose any work.  There is absolutely nothing that Debian
     can do about it.  For more details, please see the first entry in
     /usr/share/doc/distributed-net/readme.1st (Closes: #177360)
   * remove /etc/distributed-net.conf on purge (Closes: #186795)
   * Remove m68k version completely.  It's too old to support the current
     distributed.net infrastructure and upstream no longer support it as an
     architecture.
   * Remove build dependency on debianutils (which is Essential: Yes)
   * Alter distributed-net-config.8 so the .TH section matches the filename.
   * Update description to reflect that OGR-24 and RC5-64 have been finished
