Public bug reported:

Hi, this is the relevant version information:

# lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:        12.04
dpkg -l haproxy|tail -1
ii  haproxy                             1.4.18-0ubuntu1                     
fast and reliable load balancing reverse proxy

When I issue a stop to haproxy via the init script, on line 49 it tries to kill 
the process and returns 4 in case of failure, which then after iis the exit 
status of the script itself. 
There are many reasons why stopping a process may fail, one of them is that the 
process wasn't actually running. In that case, I think the exit status of stop 
should be 0, since the process is stopped.
This caused problems in the following scenario:  haproxy governed by pacemaker 
if the haproxy process stops abruptly for some reason (crash, oom-killer), 
pacemaker will try to stop and start it again, but it will fail to stop (exit 
4, expected 0).
To work around this, I added a check on the init script to see if the process 
was running, see patch attached.
