Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev

OpenRC wrongly reported today that the service "tor" is crashed.

A start of the service brought :

 * Starting tor ...
 * start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/tor is already running

 * Failed to start tor
                                                   [ !! ]
 * ERROR: tor failed to start
 * Manually resetting tor to stopped state


IMO it should not set a service to "stop" if it detected that it is "started".



BTW is there any chance to manually fix the status in such a case at the command line ?

There is an upstream issue for this. However, I was unable to reproduce
it.

In the future, please open a bug either here or upstream instead of
both.

Thanks,

William
