Package: lsb-base Version: 3.2-19 Severity: normal File: /lib/lsb/init-functions
According to the BTS [1], the new status_of_proc method should behave as specified by the LSB [2]. When using this function though, I noticed that this function return 4, when the service is not running (LSB says, it should use 3 in that case). A simple way to reproduce this, is to use the up-to-date openssh package: pluto:~# /etc/init.d/ssh start Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. pluto:~# /etc/init.d/ssh status sshd is running. pluto:~# echo $? 0 pluto:~# /etc/init.d/ssh stop Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. pluto:~# /etc/init.d/ssh status sshd is not running failed! pluto:~# echo $? 4 <-- should probaby be 3, as the output clearly says that the program is not running, and not that the status is unknown.
