Description Karel De Vriendt 2008-04-16 19:46:49 UTC

The init script (etc/init.d/spamd) does not work any more after update to openrc and baselayout-2 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to openrc/baselayout-2
2. /etc/init.d/spamd (re)start
3.
Actual Results:  
/etc/init.d/spamd start
 * Starting spamd ...
 * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/spamd is a script
 * start-stop-daemon: and should be started, stopped or signalled with
 * start-stop-daemon: --exec /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/spamd
 * start-stop-daemon: or you should specify a pidfile or process name
 * Failed to start spamd                                                  [ !! ]
 * ERROR: spamd failed to start


Expected Results:  
Service to be started

Worked correctly before but apparently start-stop-daemon in openrc is a bit more picky about correct invocations

Solution from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178772 worked here for me.

Created attachment 150430 [details]
Modified init script

Line starting with "--name ..." added

Comment 3 Karel De Vriendt 2008-04-20 16:40:14 UTC

See the modified script (line starting with --name is added).

Found this solution (workaround?) in a baselayout-2 thread on the Gentoo forum:

I did. fixed init-script in CVS. Just re-emerge and you should be fine.
