Public bug reported: The init script for the watchdog service does not seem to remove the pid file corresponding to the watchdog and wd_keepalive daemons while stopping them using start-stop-daemon
This behaviour was observed on Ubuntu 14.04 and this logic appears to be present even on the latest versions of the watchdog package (watchdog_5.15-2). Not deleting the pid file appears to be incorrect behaviour in init scripts. Is this a known issue? ** Affects: watchdog (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750942 Title: stale pid for watchdog service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/watchdog/+bug/1750942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
