This version of htpdate seems to be writing an incorrect pid to the pidfile.
When I run: # /usr/sbin/htpdate -D -s -i /run/htpdate.pid www.pool.ntp.org www.wikipedia.org The pidfile contains: # cat /run/htpdate.pid 56385 The actual pid: # pgrep htpdate 580673 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941599 Title: htpdate.service fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/htpdate/+bug/1941599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
