[Bug 1582813] [NEW] service --status-all always reports upstart managed daemons as running

Tue May 17 16:52:47 UTC 2016

Public bug reported:

The change to lsb-base that landed into -updates on the 12th of May:

lsb (4.1+Debian11ubuntu6.1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Add 01-upstart-lsb from the upstart package and make
    executing rc.d scripts no-op if there is an upstart
    job for that script. (LP: #1273462)

changed the behaviour of init.d scripts to pass through to the
associated upstart configuration for process management, where packages
ship both an upstart configuration and an init.d configuration.

This has a rather nasty side effect on 'service --status-all', which
calls the 'status' method on all installed init.d scripts - this gets
translated into:

  status <service-name>

for upstart scripts, which correctly identifies the process as not
running, but always returns a 0 return code. As a result, --status-all
incorrectly identifies upstart processes as running even when they are
not.
