Description

functions script uses pidlist=$(pidof -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x $base) which may not work properly with the sysvinit-2.79 package (reason unknown so far).

Change History (10)

mca@irc pointed out that sysvinit-2.79's killall5 is broken (/bin/pidof is a symlink to kilalll5) and causes our functions script to misbehave quite badly.

He has emailed the author of sysvinit

Perhaps we should downgrade to 2.78 until the problem has been fixed. Right now the bootscripts may be broken.

<mca> Gerard: that's only going to occur on scripts named the same as basename /path/to/command

ie: /etc/init.d/sendmail that deals with a binary called sendmail

in LFS, the only daemon we have are syslogd and klogd, but the script is called sysklogd so it doesn't show up.

Summary: new sysvinit may have broken pidlist=$(pidof -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x $base) → downgrade to sysvinit-2.78

downgrade to sysvinit-2.78 until we figure out how to fix 2.79
