Description Harald Hoyer 2007-07-05 13:47:28 UTC
Please have a look at the wikipage 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/Initscripts
and change your initscripts to comply with the LSB standard.
Especially check the exit status and add a LSB Header.
E.g. starting a service should return with 0, if the service is already running and stopping a stopped service should also return with 0.

Also check, if your service has to be _on_ per default, and turn it off in the old chkconfig line, if not.

Thank you.

I'll check if the problems are always present in latest upstream version, and
point them out if not.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as
a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'.

If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to
rawhide.
(If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug
and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption.

The process we're following is outlined here:

We will be following the process here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this
doesn't happen again.

Comment 3 Johan Cwiklinski 2008-07-27 23:05:19 UTC
With new versions of BackupPC, upstream made a good work to gets BackupPC
compliant with standards (as for paths and init files).

I'm not an initscripts expert, but it seems that this is now compliant with
standards.

If this is not, feel free to repoen this bug.
