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

[John Dong]

Hi Paul,


(1) Please target hardy-proposed, not hardy
(2) Version number should be 4.69-2ubuntu0.1

Other than that, the patch looks good. Once this is fixed, consider the
patch ACKed by the SRU team.

Bug description:
$ pidof nagios2
29114
$ sudo /etc/init.d/nagios2 reload
 * Reloading nagios2 monitoring daemon configuration files nagios2       [ OK ] 
$ pidof nagios2
$ tail /var/log/nagios2/nagios.log
[1217275349] Nagios 2.11 starting... (PID=29112)
[1217275349] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1217275349] Finished daemonizing... (New PID=29114)
[1217275378] Caught SIGTERM, shutting down...
[1217275378] Successfully shutdown... (PID=29114)

It looks like the init script is using "killproc ... 1" from /lib/lsb/init-functions which ends up calling "start-stop-daemon --stop ..."

Manually running "kill -1 $(pidof nagios2)" successfully causes nagios to reload it's configuration files.
