Description Michael Gaber 2008-11-24 18:58:38 UTC

start-stop-daemon seems to be unable to stop aiccu with the specified command in /etc/init.d/aiccu

start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/aiccu -- stop

if run manually it gives this output

# start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo -v --exec /usr/sbin/aiccu -- stop
 * Will stop /usr/sbin/aiccu

 * Will stop processes of `/usr/sbin/aiccu'
 * start-stop-daemon: no matching processes found


if running 

# start-stop-daemon -v --exec /usr/sbin/aiccu -- stop

it works but i don't think this is the recommended way ;)

Reproducible: Always

Hi!

Same problem here. It seems like a call to start-stop-daemon with params
'--stop' and '--exec /path/to/bin' doesn't call '/path/to/bin'.

The easiest way to fix this problem here is to remove the use of
start-stop-daemon completely, so starting aiccu is done via '/usr/sbin/aiccu
start' and '/usr/sbin/aiccu stop' to stop it, respectively.

Greetings, Phil

Hello.

A better way would be to use start-stop-daemon, due to the fact that multiple instances of aiccu could be present.

It seems that the --pidfile - toggle for start-stop-daemon is missing:

start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/aiccu.pid --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/aiccu stop

actually solves the problem.

This seems to work for me too.
+1 for commit

Comment 7 Pavel Volkov 2010-05-06 11:26:11 UTC

Worked for me as well. Why is this still not in portage?
