System completely up-to-date as of 2020-06-02

ebuild net-analyzer/munin-2.0.56

munin-node fails to start on boot:

/var/log/messages:

Jun  3 17:29:57 <hostname> /etc/init.d/munin-node[3530]: start-stop-daemon: did not create a valid pid in `/run/munin-node.pid'
Jun  3 17:29:57 <hostname> /etc/init.d/munin-node[3509]: ERROR: munin-node failed to start

No process "*munin*" there after boot.

Have to start munin-node after boot manually with

/etc/init.d/munin-node start

only after that munin-node is in status running:

/etc/init.d/munin-node status
 * status: started

Init-System is OpenRC

After manually starting, things look ok:

cat /run/munin-node.pid
7004

pgrep munin-node
7004

So there is a problem with the pid file only on boot.

The following modification of /etc/init.d/munin-node fixes the bug for me:

diff backup/munin-node ./munin-node 
20c20
<       before cron
---
>       need net

Without this patch, munin-node was tried to start right after syslog-ng as the second daemon according to /var/log/messages (when the network links where not up yet), which was apparently too early for some reason.

BTW what is the reason for the "before cron" dependency? A comment should explain it.

I am not quite sure, if there is a use case when munin-node should run on a node without network (or at least without an init script resource that provides "net").
Maybe, also "net" is not really needed by munin-node, but something other, I don't know, it just fixes the bug for me, to depend on net.
