Right, service is a tool for the local administrator. service should be exactly the same as running the /etc/init.d script directly under sysvinit, except with a sanitized environment and respecting an upstart or systemd init system and its way of doing things if that's what one is using. That means a manual service start should override any policy.d setting just like running /etc/init.d/service start would. > I think the valid options for logrotate are either invoke-rc.d, or > something that uses package-specific knowledge that a particular > operation won't start the daemon if it isn't already running. Yup. invoke-rc.d if it's safe and won't start a service that's not already running, otherwise something specifically crafted for that service that has the right semantics. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
