For example, you can terminate xdm by entering a ^R in for your login dialog. However, later executions of start-stop-daemon fail to start xdm because xdm "is already running". In this particular case, I wish to defer starting xdm until some time after boot (so I created an "xdm" user which runs a /usr/local/bin/xdm script as root). I was also hoping to make it a bit more convenient to restart xdm after having hit ^R. Since this is a passwordless "login" I need the sanity checks imposed by start-stop-daemon. I just wish it were a bit more seamless. -- Raul ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: root@tad.micro.umn.edu (root) Subject: Bug#1480: Acknowledgement (was: start-stop-daemon doesn't check process status) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux. This is an automatically generated reply, to let you know your message has been received. It is being forwarded to the developers' mailing list for their attention; they will reply in due course. If you wish to submit further information on your problem, please send it to debian-bugs@pixar.com, but please ensure that the Subject line of your message starts with "Bug#1480" or "Re: Bug#1480" so that we can identify it as relating to the same problem. Please do not reply to the address at the top of this message, unless you wish to report a problem with the bug-tracking system. Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a psuedo-header at all. This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
