Description Marcin Mirosław 2015-10-29 10:07:57 UTC

When ulogd.conf has configuration error than ulogd throws error to log and quits but init scripts wronlgy assumes that ulogd is working:
# /etc/init.d/ulogd restart ; pgrep ulogd
 * Stopping ulogd                                              [ ok ]
 * Starting ulogd                                              [ ok ]
#

After adding parameter "--wait 200" to start-stop-daemon init scripts works better:
# /etc/init.d/ulogd restart ; pgrep ulogd
 * Starting ulogd ...
 * start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in `/run/ulogd.pid'          [ !! ]
 * ERROR: ulogd failed to start
#
 
and after fixing ulogd.conf:
# /etc/init.d/ulogd restart ; pgrep ulogd
 * Starting ulogd ...                                                         [ ok ]
