Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
>From the latest version of the Debian Installer Manual, B.4.2.:
-------------------------------
killall.sh dhclient
netcfg
-------------------------------
If this code is used, killall.sh will return exit code 143 because it
kills itself. killall.sh looks for DHCP client processes like
dhclient. In this case it will find its own process as well, because
"dhclient" is part of the killall.sh command. And so it kills itself in
additions to the running DHCP clients.
Although it might work in a script triggered by preseed/run anyhow,
it is not desired behaviour. In addition to that using "killall.sh
dhclient ; netcfg" as preseed/early_command makes the early_command
fail by the exit code.
Because the "dhclient" argument used with killall.sh is totally
unnecessary - unused by the script - I would suggest replacing the line
"killall.sh dhclient" in the manual by just "killall.sh".
