[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#511688: "/etc/init.d/clamav-milter stop" doesn't stop the clamav-milter daemon

[Bruno Tréguier]

Package: clamav-milter
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


The script "/etc/init.d/clamav-milter" doesn't do a proper job when
trying to stop the daemon. This is due to the fact that the file
containing the PID (/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.pid) in fact holds the
process group ID, which is negative, and line 88 of the script, which is
supposed to kill the daemon, is as follows:

    kill -15 -"$PID" 2>/dev/null || true

The minus sign before "$PID" shouldn't be there, as it is already
included in the PID contained in the /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.pid
file. That line should read:

    kill -15 "$PID" 2>/dev/null || true

Hope that helps, and please be indulgent about the rather free form of 
my patch (it's only 1 line anyway ;-) ).

Regards,

Bruno
