 |
|
I hate the fact, that every time I kill a daemon (or it quits by itself because of a failure), I have to hack my way through the init.d scripts.
So, every single time I had change 'eend $?' to 'eend 0', do '/etc/init.d/x stop', change it back so it would look nice, and do a '/etc/init.d/x start'. Until I learned the start-stop-daemon --oknodo option. But why should I patch my own initscripts, when this isn't even my job?
Shouldn't initscripts use the --oknodo param for stop scripts by default? I can't come up with a reason myself, but if not, then why?
I'm sure there are some newbies out there who have been rebooting their machines just to get things into a consistent state.

Try '/etc/init.d/x zap'.
| Code: | zap
Reset a service that is currently stopped, but still marked as started,
to the stopped state. Basically for killing zombie services. |

Thanks! I never knew such thing existed.
I wonder why doesn't '/sbin/runscript' mention it when you specify an invalid argument. Well, I guess it only mentions the actions that the specific initscript supports.
It does mention it, when you don't pass an argument at all though.
An admin should probably move this thread into a help forum instead  |
