Description Giampaolo Tomassoni 2012-01-17 12:43:18 UTC

An init script can't rely on the command_background=true setting in order to instruct the default start() function to start and background a daemon.

This is because that start() function invokes start-stop-daemon with:

 --background --pidfile

instead of:

 --background --make-pidfile

Reproducible: Always
