Bug 191206 – start-stop-daemon in baselayout-2.0.0_rc4 thinks dnetc has died

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michael Hordijk 2007-09-04 03:15:29 UTC]

This appears to be similar to recently reported cases of apache being reported as dead by start-stop-daemon.  But those have been marked as fixed some time ago.  This is on my amd64 machine, which meaning it is dnetc version 2.9011.496-r1.

Reproducible: Always

rc4-r1 does it to rsyncd
" # /etc/init.d/rsyncd restart
rsyncd            | * Caching service dependencies ...                    [ ok ]
rsyncd            | * Starting rsyncd ...
rsyncd            | * start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/rsync is already runnin [ !! ]
rsyncd            | * ERROR: rsyncd failed to start"

Not a baselayout error as such
rc thinks that rsyncd isn't running when it actually is.

killall rsyncd
/etc/init.d/rsyncd restart

So I have to do that every time I boot up? Sorry that output was from me trying to restart it. In my log it says "/etc/init.d/rsyncd[4073]: start-stop-daemon: /usr/bin/rsync died" next line says "/etc/init.d/rsyncd[4044]: ERROR: rsyncd failed to start"
It seemed to say more on boot up but it is not all in my logs.

Well, it works for me here. Please open a new bug for this.

It only does it with rc in parallel start mode. I changed to "no" for parallel and it didn't give the error.
