Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.88dsf-41 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The current service script detects services as running, not running or unknown. Unknown is when scripts do not implement the 'service' option. This is detected by searching the init.d script for "\(^\|\W\)status)", however this misses several scripts which do implement a usable service option. Example 1: mysql's init.d quotes its options in the case statement. The service script misses the 'status') string. Example 2: This will miss any status that is not the last in the list. A 3rd-party init.d script was seen to use the status|running) string. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sysvinit-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 sysvinit-utils recommends no packages.
