I emerged sci-misc/boinc and I had some problems with running it and mainly with stoping the daemon. When I "stopped" it and tried to run it again message WARNING: "boinc" has already been started. appeared and it was hard to find why - there was lockfile but also there was file link boinc in /var/lib/init.d/started Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sci-misc/boinc 2. run /etc/init.d/boinc start 3. run /etc/init.d/boinc stop 4. run /etc/init.d/boinc start again Actual Results: Message WARNING: "boinc" has already been started. appears, but no process is running.

Reopen with a unified diff against current initscript attached, please. Really no idea what you changed.
Created attachment 131751 [details] diff for boinc initscript requested diff
Created attachment 131752 [details] boinc conf file diff there are some new variables in configuration file, so I added that diff too
Requested diff file(s) added.
Uhm, unified diff (the readable one) != context diff; see the nice manpage ;)
Created attachment 131753 [details] unified diff for boinc initscript
Created attachment 131755 [details] unified diff for boinc configuration file
Sorry, I didn't realized what you requested, I didn't know this option. Thanks I learned something :-)
Created attachment 152839 [details, diff] Fix The issue is still there. The boinc client takes a few seconds to shut down, so the init script fails. The attached fix works for me.
Created attachment 152841 [details, diff] Better fix. restart() doesn't have to wait.

Something similar is in new boinc initscript (since version 6.4.5). Enjoy and report all problems you encounter :]
