Description Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2006-07-27 20:29:35 UTC 
Description of problem:

  When ser cannot startup due to its ports already being opened by someone
  else, "service ser start" still reports "OK".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  ser-0.9.6-6.fc5

How reproducible:

  Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start software binding to port 5060, e.g. ekiga.
2. Run "service ser start" with a config binding to the same port.
  
Actual results:

  "service ser start" reports "[ OK ]", but ser does not start.

Expected results:

  "service ser start" reports "[ FAILED ]" as ser cannot start.
Comment 1 Andreas Thienemann 2007-08-28 20:34:44 UTC 
Marking as WONTFIX. ser exits with errorlevel 0 even if it is not starting up
correctly.

Upstream claimes, this will be fixed in the next major release...
