Description Dan Egli 2004-12-17 13:44:33 UTC

try to run one of the scripts in /etc/init.d. It won't work, using v 1.43 of runscript.sh 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. pick a service
2. run it's init.d script
3. watch the pretty error.

Actual Results:  
mars fax # /etc/init.d/samba status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: Do not run this directly
mars ~ # /etc/init.d/courier-imapd status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: Do not run this directly
mars ~ # /etc/init.d/dnetc status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: Do not run this directly
mars ~ # /etc/init.d/vixie-cron status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: Do not run this directly
mars ~ # /etc/init.d/named status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: Do not run this directly
mars ~ # /etc/init.d/clamd status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: Do not run this directly
mars ~ # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng status
 * /sbin/runscript.sh: Do not run this directly

( I think you get the idea )


Expected Results:  
should not display error, and should perform requested operation.

the runscript from 05/05/2004 (in use on a differet gentoo machine) works fine

your tree is outdated, upgrade baselayout

Comment 2 Dan Egli 2004-12-21 20:49:03 UTC

Newer baselayout seems to work. But I think that should have happened as part of emerge world.
