Bug 80298 – zaptel init script silently dies prior to ztcfg

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Trenton Tuggle 2005-02-01 00:47:21 UTC]

Running zaptel-1.0.4; Using my own udev rule to create /dev/zap/ entries (pasted from zaptel README.udev)

When sytem boots, or when executing /etc/init.d/zaptel start execution somewhere silently dies prior to the /sbin/ztcfg line.  I haven't traced it further yet.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge zaptel
2. /etc/init.d/zaptel start
3. Notice nothing is printed (the "* Starting Zaptel" line)
Actual Results:  
ztcfg is not running.  Must run it manually

Expected Results:  
run ztcfg!

checkconfig() return values were messed up and ebuild won't be in state "started"
if there's no zaptel.conf

[Comment 2 Trenton Tuggle 2005-02-03 21:36:46 UTC]

Correct. Upon examination, checkconfig() func. in /etc/init.d/zaptel return values are swapped.  Thanks for finding that.  I assume it's fixed?

jep, you can grab the new version after emerge sync from /usr/portage/net-misc/zaptel/files/zaptel.rc6

Thanks!  Appreciate your quck help!  (Esp. since I didn't have time to figure out the ret. vals thing until now!)  Closing...
