[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#825870: sysvinit-utils: Second stop command does not use process matchers name and pidfile

[Steven Roose]

Package: sysvinit-utils
Version: 2.88dsf-59
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I used /etc/init.d/skeleton to make a script for a daemon. 
The daemon does not make it's own pidfile, so I added following relevant variables:
PIDFILE=/pidfile
START_ARGS=" --make-pidfile"
STOP_ARGS=" --remove-pidfile"
NAME=
DAEMON=

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
/etc/init.d/mydaemon start
/etc/init.d/mydaemon stop

   * What was the outcome of this action?
The following error message:
"start-stop-daemon: --remove-pidfile requires --pidfile"

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
The daemon would be stopped.
