Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ircd-irc2
The script to start the IRC server blocks.
I changed the script to use the log_begin/end_msg functions and to make
use of the --background.
Also, somehow, it does not create the .pid file. That I think is because
we start the server with user:group irc:irc. This prevents it from
opening the .pid file (permission denied).
Thus, I changed the stop using the name of the exec rather than the .pid
file.
That works for me.
The changes are below.
