Hi. Just remembered that maybe I should mention that it seems the ebtables init script reload function is not policy compliant.
The reload is currently the same as "restart" and/or "force-reload" but these are not equivalent in the debian policy. http://sources.debian.net/src/ebtables/2.0.10.4-3/debian/ebtables.init/#L144 See "reload" vs "restart" vs "force-reload" in https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s-writing-init As an example I think "stop" + "reload" should leave the system in a stopped state, which it currently doesn't. Easiest might just be to drop reload and not support it (since it's optional). (Alternatively the init script needs to start keeping state somewhere in /run I guess, since there's no running daemon to check.) Regards, Andreas Henriksson
