[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#746795: sysvinit-utils: service foo force-reload, under upstart should restart the service, nor reload

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.88dsf-41ubuntu6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712763#59 an issue
came up that if one does sysv-init -> upstart command translation
force-reload should really be mapped to restart to be debian policy
compliant. In upstart, reload always works and sends SIGHUP (or restart
signal) to the daemons but that may or may not actually reload
configuration. Thus to be on the safe side & as per policy force-reload
should simply restart the daemon.
