[Bug 1412719] [NEW] wait-for-state restarts whoopsie every 30sec

[Michael Blennerhassett]

Public bug reported:

wait-for-state is restarting whoopsie every 30sec:

[14103.317598] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning
[14133.330315] init: wait-for-state (whoopsienetwork-manager) main process (10221) terminated with status 100
[14133.396185] init: whoopsie main process (10227) terminated with status 1
[14133.396205] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning
[14163.409765] init: wait-for-state (whoopsienetwork-manager) main process (10231) terminated with status 100
[14163.468346] init: whoopsie main process (10237) terminated with status 1
[14163.468366] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning
[14193.485204] init: wait-for-state (whoopsienetwork-manager) main process (10241) terminated with status 100
[14193.560511] init: whoopsie main process (10249) terminated with status 1
[14193.560531] init: whoopsie main process ended, respawning


The problem in wait-for-state.conf is this line:
status $WAIT_FOR | grep -q "$TARGET_GOAL/$WAIT_STATE" && exit 0

TARGET_GOAL is either "start" or "stop".
WAIT_STATE by default is "started", but there is no job status like "start/started".

so WAIT_STATE needs to be something like "running" (or "waiting" for
goal of "stop").
