[Bug 252686] Re: Reload action on init script kills daemon

[Dustin Kirkland]

Given that the LSB patch is already upstream and available in Intrepid,
and looking at the code, it is clearly the correct "technical" solution.

However, applying this change to Hardy would affect basically every init
script in Ubuntu.  This is not an SRU that would be accepted lightly.
Heavy scrutiny would be required in order to prove that there are no
regressions.  If this patch to LSB solved a goodly selection of known
bugs, then it might be worth pursuing that route.  But Thierry says that
he looked, and could not find another bug affected by this.

The patch to nagios2 itself is simple, self-contained, and appears
correct as well.  This would be a far easier SRU to obtain, as the
chances for regression are minimal.  Furthermore, Thierry has another
SRU in progress (Bug #231004).  I recommend rolling this patch into that
SRU, with the appropriate changelog entry mentioning the current bug
(Bug #252686).


Cheers,
