Okay, does the spamd script that you use set PIDFILE?
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.
I do see this issue with the gpm script. Don't seem to have this problem
with anything else, though I don't have many bootscripts...
