From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: A segement of code appears to have been cut'n'paste from pidofproc into pidfileofproc (as used by the daemon function) - badly. The following is in pidfileofproc: if [ -f /var/run/${base}.pid ] ; then read pid < /var/run/${base}.pid for p in $line ; do I think this should be: if [ -f /var/run/${base}.pid ] ; then local line read line < /var/run/${base}.pid for p in $line ; do ... as it is below in pidofproc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions 2. Find pidfileofproc 3. Check it Actual Results: The init routine 'daemon' won't correctly check for running processes. Expected Results: It should. Additional info: I may bo completely wrong. But if so, I really don't understand bash!
