Hiya, could you please include the output of "emerge --info". It appears start-stop-daemon is part of the openrc package, and emerge --info will tell us which version you have installed, and lots of other useful information. Thanks... 5:)

One should be fine to get us started thanks Martin. 5:)

Doug are you shure? If I make a cat /etc/init.d/postgresql I can see the following: stop() { ebegin "Stopping PostgreSQL" # Note: we have to do --oknodo here, otherwise it will always fail # when there are open transactions. This bug has been corrected # in baselayout-1.13.0_alpha8. start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile "${PGDATA}/postmaster.pid" \ --retry -TERM/${WAIT_FOR_DISCONNECT}/-INT/${WAIT_FOR_CLEANUP}/-QUIT --oknodo eend $? }

I'm running the same version of openrc (3.0-r1), and I can't stop/restart the nfs service because of this. Quite annoying. =/
--name is such a bad hack 1) processes can change their "name" 2) it's non portable 3) name has a maximum match of 14 chars on some platforms We do the best we can, but s-s-d in OpenRC should now be good enougn so that --name is no longer required, as long as the binary it's starting/stopping exists.
I've fixed --name for stopping services like nfs. http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/openrc.git;a=commitdiff;h=0492240d1b2e09629e32faa37fa07094c2a4ad59
when is this going to be pushed to portage?

If we can prove there is a better way to do it in every case, we can declare it deprecated, and then focus on updating all initscripts that use it.
(In reply to comment #12) > Current command that fails in the nfs initscript: > >start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --name nfsd --user root --signal 2 > > How would you suggest modifying this to do it without using --name? nfs changes it's process name AND cannot work with pidfiles (to the best of my knowledge). Yes it's crappy, but it's probably one of the very few exceptions that actually needs --name. OpenRC had a bug regarding --name which has since been fixed and the nfs script as it stands works again.
Bug seems to be resolved in openrc-4.0 Thank you very match!
