The following does not solve the problem of init-checkconf incorrectly reporting an invalid script as valid when an unknown option is included but it does solve the problem of the script being invalid.
This is invalid, script exec $KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-server-start.sh $CONFIG_HOME/server.properties end script This is valid, script exec $KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-server-start.sh $CONFIG_HOME/server.properties end script When the whitespacing is incorrect a more useful error message would be useful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to upstart in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546702 Title: init-checkconf incorrectly passes an upstart script as valid Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I validate my upstart script with -v (an unknown option) the script is reported as valid.
