Package: lsyncd
Version: 2.0.7-1
Severity: important
When lsyncd starts by default it forks a child to do the work, and the parent
exits.
This does not work with the init script as supplied in the debain package,
as start-stop-daemon is recording the PID of the process it started, instead of
the
PID of the forked of worker.
lsyncd has a -pidfile <filename> command line option. I have hacked the init
script
on my install to add that cmd line option so it is now correctly storing the
PID.
(hacked script is attached)
NB: I am running Debian 6.0 Squeeze, but I installed the latest lsyncd from
Wheezey
to get the latest version. I don't think using the wrong version for the distro
will
affect this bug, but it might.
