[Bug 1413555] [NEW] init script fails with error code 0 when configuration test doesn't pass

[Stratos Moros]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Nginx version: 1.4.6-1ubuntu3.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. install nginx
2. add a configuration error to nginx's configuration (echo error > /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)
3. reload nginx and check its exit code (/etc/init.d/nginx reload; echo $?)

What should happen:

Nginx should fail to reload with a non zero exit code.

What happens instead

Nginx does not reload, but the init script's exit code is 0. This
confuses certain configuration management tools that rely on init
scripts' exit codes to determine success.
