Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lsb
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core- generic/iniscrptfunc.html says that "Each conforming init script shall execute the commands in the file /lib/lsb/init-functions in the current environment...." I read this to include the current working directory. However, start-stop-daemon changes the current directory to root, unless --chdir is supplied. Therefore, I believe that start_daemon should supply --chdir $PWD to start-to-stop-daemon. Not doing so causes problems with some rpm-based packages, that cd to a specific directory before starting. I've attached a patch that seems to work. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04 Release: 8.04 $ apt-show-versions lsb-base lsb-base/hardy uptodate 3.2-4ubuntu1 ** Affects: lsb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- start_daemon should supply --chdir $PWD to start-to-stop-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
