Description nic 2018-03-26 20:19:28 UTC
The smokeping.init.5 file with unstable net-analyzer/smokeping-2.7.1 incorrectly has the extra commands "dump" and "restore" in the started command list. Both sub commands also incorrectly reference ${myservice} in checking if we are running.




Please split these commands out:

 extra_started_commands="reload"
 extra_stopped_commands="dump restore"


And remove the 'if service_started' checks from the dump and restore functions (changing to RC_SVCNAME doesn't make sense here for these commands should only execute when smokeping is not writing to the rrd files)

Thanks ;)

This also restores the logging issue in Bug #651212

Clarification; This has actually been an issue with the init script for a while, not just the latest file as originally noted.
smokeping.init.3 dated May 2016 also has the issue in checking the non-existent variable $myservice


These extra commands are very convenient when migrating RRD files between architectures (ie i686 to x86_64).
