When I try to stop a daemon after I disabled it in /etc/default/foo, I get an
error-message that I can not stop it, because it is disabled.
Shouldn't I be able to stop it even if I disabled it first?
This happens if you disabled a daemon but didn't restart after that.
In my case it's MPD, I even tried it with icecast2, but I think this applies to
more than these packages.
-----------
user@sys:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mpd stop
Not stopping MPD: disabled by /etc/default/mpd. failed!
user@sys:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/icecast2 stop
icecast2 daemon disabled - read /etc/default/icecast2.
-----------
E.g. in /etc/init.d/icecast2 I changed
- if [ "$ENABLE" != "true" ]; then
to
+ if [ "$ENABLE" != "true" ] && [ "$1" != "stop" ]; then
Best regards,
Mathias Kub

Hi,
I've decided to close this bug, as this "mis-feature" / bug is actually a main
characteristic of system V init scripts: they can be+do anything, including
showing the behaviour which led to this bug report.
If you don't like this, use a modern init system.
cheers,
Holger
