I missed a whole load of stuff of what s-s-d can do and what the new wrapper does - I was just talking about mis-use of start-stop-daemon in init scripts which will break in future baselayouts. And if s-s-d is creating a pidfile for a shell script then the pid will definitely be wrong. > Also, it seems ok to me to use the start-stop-daemon in the stop() > function (combined with the --retry $TIME option is really great for > daemons that require a longer time to finish). I'm not debating that. Use of start-stop-daemon and how it's called is entirely up to the ebuild maintainers. However, I would like them to use it correctly ;) Thanks -- Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux Developer
