[Cooker] initscripts 'daemon' function returns incorrect status

2001-09-16 Thread John Silva
Many initscripts incorrectly reload on runlevel change. This is due to the 'daemon' function in /etc/init.d/functions returning incorrect exit status since the addition of libsafe support. The function exits with 'unset LD_PRELOAD' which replaces the exit status of the executed daemon.

[Cooker] samba initscript fails to check lockfile on startup/shutdown

2001-09-16 Thread John Silva
The startup script for samba fails to check the subsys lock file on startup/shutdown. The script incorrectly attempts to reload samba on runlevel change and incorrectly attempts to shutdown or restart when it is not running. Patch follows to correct this behavior. -- John P. Silva
