[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#665422: nagios-nrpe-server: init-script doesn't notice when starting the daemon fails, pid file is left inconsistent

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: nagios-nrpe-server
Version: 2.12-5
Severity: normal


Hi.

Maybe this is an upstream issue.
I noticed that when nrpe startup in daemon mode fails (e.g. due
to a wrongly set config option), the init script doesn't notice
and fail.
Also the pid file isn't cleanly removed then, which could mean
that another process is later on wrongly killed.


Cheers,
Chris.
