When trysing to restart nessusd (~x86 2.3.0) using the rc mechanism it stops fine, but does not restart again: # /etc/init.d/nessusd restart * Stop nessusd... [ ok ] * Starting nessusd...

[ ok # /etc/init.d/nessusd start * Starting nessusd... All plugins loaded [ ok ] Note that some kind of counter is displayed, showing the current amount of loaded plugins, during starting (which will eventually read the "All plgins loaded." message). However: when I start too soon after stopping, it shows the same (broken) behaviour as like it got a restart: # /etc/init.d/nessusd stop * Stop nessusd... [ ok ] # /etc/init.d/nessusd start * Starting nessusd...

Created attachment 49523 [details] A new init script for nessusd Hi, is there anyway you can, please, test this new init script for nessusd? This new init script checks if nessus daemon is running before proceeds.
It's in cvs now. Please remerge nessus 2.3.0.
Tested the new /etc/init.d/nessusd script, and the problem is gone: # /etc/init.d/nessusd restart * Stop nessusd... * Waiting for the environment to be sane [ ok ] * Starting nessusd... All plugins loaded [ ok ] # Thanks! Cheers, Melle
Not that familiar with Bugzilla. Should I (the submitter) close the bug now?
It is not needed. You've confirmed that the solution works which is what we were after. Thanks for testing and getting back to us.
