Because I'm the one that started this thread by reporting what I felt was an error in the functions, I am curious if anyone else has seen the issue I see. I would hate the DJ is fighting something that really doesn't exist. What I am seeing using the bootscripts specified in the LFS and BLFS SVN book is behavior that when a BLFS bootscript is called with the 'status' parameter, and the referenced daemon is known not to be running, the script returns that it *is* running with a PID that doesn't exist. Earlier today I killed the syslog daemons and ran the script with the 'status' parameter and things reported correctly. However, with BLFS bootscripts using /usr/sbin/daemonname, things don't report the same. Let's make sure there is really an issue here. DJ, if I can help to ensure there is really an issue, let me know what I need to do. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 21:17:00 up 129 days, 20:50, 2 users, load average: 1.27, 1.10, 0.75 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
