Bug 252186 – net-misc/freenet6 init-script needs to stop the program using HUP signal

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Limberg 2008-12-22 15:36:03 UTC]

When trying to stop gw6c by using

$ /etc/init.d/gwc6 stop

the process is stopped the wrong way. Like suggested by '/etc/freenet6/template/linux.sh:109' SIGHUP should be used to kill the process so that the "Tunnel destruction script" gets executed.

The destruction script is important because it terminates the tunnel, removes the advertised ipv6-prefix from the local link and terminates radvd (if using freenet6 in router mode). At the current state it is impossible to start gw6c again, without cleaning up manually.

Reproducible: Always
