I recently installed dev-db/redis as a dependency for mail-filter/rspamd, as part of a project to replace the defunct mail-filter/dspam. Redis appears to start up correctly, but the init scripts are clearly broken. Once the redis service is started, rc-status always reports its status as 'crashed', and rc-service cannot stop or restart it. minbar:root:~:13 # pgrep -alf redis 19366 /usr/sbin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379 minbar:root:~:14 # rc-status | grep redis redis [ crashed ] minbar:root:~:15 # rc-service redis stop * Stopping redis ... * start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found [ ok ] minbar:root:~:16 # pgrep -alf redis 19366 /usr/sbin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379

The issue happens because redis wants to handle it's own pid, but the init script passes background and pid info to start-stop-daemon. Solution is just to pull out those params from the args.
Confirmed fix works for me.
The patch has been committed here: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/6f9cc73493d498749aadc4322ba0a8accda697b8 and all the ebuilds have been revbumped as well so users can get the udpates.
