Package: lsb-base Version: 3.1-24 Severity: minor When killproc is invoked as in killproc -p "$PIDFILE" "$DAEMON" start-stop-daemon is invoked with --retry 5. When the daemon does simply die without deleting the pid file, s-s-d misdetects this, tries to kill the daemon a second time, and dies with a warning
$ sudo /sbin/start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/ser2net.pid --retry 5 --quiet --oknodo --verbose Stopped process in pidfile /var/run/ser2net.pid' (pid 15061). /sbin/start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 15061: No such process This is, uh, kind of confusing. I am not sure whether s-s-d or lsb-base is at fault here, but I'd like to suggest not using --retry unless explicitly requested via a command-line option _OR_ nor using --retry if -p is given. I have also filed a bug against s-s-d, (number to follow), to complain about the wrong warning.
