Bug 399165 – sys-apps/openrc-0.9.4: bug in sh/runscript.sh impairs start-stop-daemon backgrounding

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Giampaolo Tomassoni 2012-01-17 12:43:18 UTC]

An init script can't rely on the command_background=true setting in order to instruct the default start() function to start and background a daemon.

This is because that start() function invokes start-stop-daemon with:

 --background --pidfile

instead of:

 --background --make-pidfile

Reproducible: Always
