Package: burp
Version: 2.0.54-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
When trying to start burp automatically upon boot the PID file directory
isn't automatically created, resulting in:
root@backup:~# service burp status
* burp.service - LSB: backup and restore program
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/burp; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (exited) since Fri 2018-01-05 11:40:28 CET; 2h 8min ago
Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915)
CGroup: /system.slice/burp.service
Jan 05 11:40:28 backup systemd[1]: Starting LSB: backup and restore program...
Jan 05 11:40:28 backup burp[701]: Could not open lock file
/var/run/burp/burp.server.pid: No such file or directory
Jan 05 11:40:28 backup burp[701]: Could not get lockfile.
Jan 05 11:40:28 backup burp[701]: Maybe you do not have permissions to write to
/var/run/burp/burp.server.pid.

root@backup:~#
Since this seems to be a race condition, starting the daemon with the
same script later does work ok:
root@backup:~# service burp restart
root@backup:~# service burp status
* burp.service - LSB: backup and restore program
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/burp; generated; vendor preset: enabled)

Maybe this should be circumvented by creating a systemd service with proper
dependency chain or just hotfixed by the init script creating the required
directory before the start-stop-daemon.
Best,
