Description Mikael Gerdin 2005-02-06 06:26:13 UTC

The "syndaemon" init-script fails with message "Can't open display.      " when being automatically started because it requires an X server with an exported "DISPLAY" env. variable.
Another problem is that the stop() in the init-script uses a file "/var/run/syndaemon.pid" to terminate it, but syndaemon never creates the file. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rc-update add syndaemon default
2. reboot computer
3. whatch the error message since syndaemon is started before the X-server

Actual Results:  
The init-script generates the following error message: Can't open display.      
and does not start.

Expected Results:  
Syndaemon should have started after the X server and not display any error messages
