[pkg-bacula-devel] Bug#684744: bacula-sd init script should check that bacula-sd has exited

[Mike Griffiths]

Package: bacula-sd
Version: 5.2.5

The init script for bacula-sd, when invoked to stop the daemon, should check to see if bacula-sd has actually terminated before returning.

On a slow machine, or virtual machine, it can take upwards of half a second for bacula-sd to terminate, once sent the signal.

Currently the init script returns immediately, which can result in tools such as puppet failing to start the daemon immediately after stopping it (after a configuration change, for example).

Logic already exists in the bacula director init script to handle a similar scenario, I would suggest this is extended to the storage daemon (and file daemon if necessary).
