Package: postgrey
Version: 1.32-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
concerning the HA Linux (http://linux-ha.org/, package heartbeat) one need at
least a LSB script for controlling every HA service. Postfix package has
sufficient init script, but Postgrey's init script has some deficiencies.
* It has no status subcommand - HA needs it.
* Init script is not idempotent on start (bad option for
start-stop-daemon)
Example:
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey start; echo $?
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
0
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey start; echo $?
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgreyPid_file already exists for
running process (19566)... aborting
ERROR: Pid_file already exists for running process (19566)... aborting
9
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey start; echo $?
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgreyPid_file already exists for
running process (19566)... aborting
ERROR: Pid_file already exists for running process (19566)... aborting

I prepared a changes of init script, that uses /lib/lsb/init-functions
(lsb-base). It is used on Postfix initscript too. A function status_of_proc for
status subcommand is used and this function was included into lsb-base in
3.2-14 (according to changelog.Debian), so dependecy on lsb-base (>= 3.2-14)
should be added.
The patched version of init script now behaves a bit better:
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey status; echo $?
postgrey is not running failed!
3
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey start; echo $?
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
0
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey status; echo $?
postgrey is running.
0
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey start; echo $?
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
0
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey stop; echo $?
Stopping postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
0
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey stop; echo $?
Stopping postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
0
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey reload; echo $?
Reloading postfix greylisting daemon configuration......failed.
1
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey start; echo $?
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.
0
sid:/etc/init.d# ./postgrey reload; echo $?
Reloading postfix greylisting daemon configuration......done.
0
The above is in compliance with
http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
The patch and the whole rewritten script is included in this bugreport.
I hope it could be acceptable.
Best Regards
