Public bug reported:
The torque-server init.d script doesn't work in a few interesting ways.
The problem what I hit today is that torque-server start fails with exit
code 1 if the Torque server process is already running, instead of
succeeding (as required by Debian packaging guidelines). This makes dpkg
--configure -a fail.
The attached patch improves /etc/init.d/torque-server to solve the
problems what I saw.
Comments on the patch: 1) yes, the server.lock file used in the script
is a pid file, even though it's not named like one; 2) the reload
section was removed because there's no signal that causes the torque
server to reload its configuration (SIGHUP causes it to close and reopen
its log files).
