Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: autofs
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/autofs stop
Stopping automounter: done.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/autofs stop
Stopping automounter: done.

Starting automounter: done.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/autofs start
Starting automounter:
failed to start automount point /net
done.
As you can see in the output above, if the autofs daemon is already
running and you try to start the service, the output "failed to start
automount point /net" tells you nothing about why the service was unable
to start. I propose that a check be in place in the start script to see
if the autofs daemon is currently running; if it is, inform the user of
this.
