S 19:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd ntp 3674 0.0 0.2 2600 1132 ? S 19:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/ntpd When stopping openntp, the initscript tries to stop all instances of ntpd: 'start-stop-daemon --stop --name ntpd' But the process running as user ntp is killed automatically when the process of root is killed. That is why start-stop-daemon can't kill the second process. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run '/etc/init.d/openntpd stop' Actual Results: eden ~ > /etc/init.d/openntpd stop * Stopping ntpd... start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 3673: No such process 1 pids were not killed Expected Results: eden ~ > /etc/init.d/openntpd stop * Stopping ntpd...

Also removes an unnecessary 'rm -f /var/run/ntpd.pid', which is not created by the initscript nor openntpd itself. vapier@gentoo.org 2004-08-25 17:52:58 0000 added to portage, thanks 38186 2004-08-25 11:02 0000 Patch for the openntp initscript openntp.patch text/plain LS0tIC9ldGMvaW5pdC5kL29wZW5udHBkLm9sZAkyMDA0LTA4LTI1IDE5OjMzOjMwLjA3MTUyOTU2 MCArMDIwMAorKysgL2V0Yy9pbml0LmQvb3Blbm50cGQJMjAwNC0wOC0yNSAxOTo1MDowMy42Mjk0 ODU3OTIgKzAyMDAKQEAgLTM1LDcgKzM1LDYgQEAKIAogc3RvcCgpIHsKIAllYmVnaW4gIlN0b3Bw aW5nIG50cGQiCi0Jc3RhcnQtc3RvcC1kYWVtb24gLS1zdG9wIC0tbmFtZSBudHBkCisJc3RhcnQt c3RvcC1kYWVtb24gLS1zdG9wIC0tbmFtZSBudHBkIC0tdXNlciByb290CiAJZWVuZCAkPyAiRmFp bGVkIHRvIHN0b3Agb3Blbm50cGQiCi0Jcm0gLWYgL3Zhci9ydW4vbnRwZC5waWQKIH0K
