Bug 127339 – typo in net-dialup/ppp-2.4.3-r12 ip-down script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Arens 2006-03-23 10:25:48 UTC]

/etc/ppp/ip-down has a typo:

if [ -x /etc/init.d/net.$1 ]; then
        if /etc/init.d/net.$1 --quiet --status ; then
                export IN_BACKGROUND="true"
                /etc/init.d/net.$1 --quiet stop
        fi
fi

This should be:
        if /etc/init.d/net.$1 --quiet status ; then


(note status w/o the '--')

otherwise you get:
Mar 23 19:08:07 ale rc-scripts: ERROR: wrong args ( --status )
Mar 23 19:08:07 ale rc-scripts: Usage: net.ppp0 { start|stop|restart }
Mar 23 19:08:07 ale rc-scripts:        net.ppp0 without arguments for full help

in syslog on hangup.

system info:
2006.1 ~amd64
