Sounds reasonable to me, although I don't know how daemon() should work, the added quotes are probably right. ...I mean, the change that *removes* the quotes is probably right. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below.

Created attachment 985108 [details] remove quotes around daemon() parameters Description of problem: /etc/init.d/numad calls daemon "$exec -i $INTERVAL" upon start(). This confuses daemon() and subsequently __pids_var_run() function and leads to bogus error messages: Starting numad: /usr/bin/dirname: extra operand `-i' Try `/usr/bin/dirname --help' for more information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): numad-0.5-11.20140620git.el6.x86_64 initscripts-9.03.46-1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # service numad (re)?start Actual results: Starting numad: /usr/bin/dirname: extra operand `-i' Try `/usr/bin/dirname --help' for more information. [ OK ] Expected results: Starting numad: [ OK ] Additional info: Doesn't reproduce with initscripts-9.03.40-2.el6_5.4, bug is triggered by patch: - init.d/functions: check parent dir of pid file for accessibility __pids_var_run() { local base=${1##*/} local pid_file=${2:-/var/run/$base.pid} - local pid_dir=$(/usr/bin/dirname $pid_file) local binary=$3 - [ -d "$pid_dir" -a ! -r "$pid_dir" ] && return 4 - pid= if [ -f "$pid_file" ] ; then local line p Patch removing quotes attached. I'll check the initscripts package, daemon() and __pids_var_run() functions should be more robust IMHO as well.
