Bug#544942: /etc/init.d/nscd should set PATH to /sbin:...
Package: nscd
Version: 2.7-18
Severity: important
Tags: patch
$PATH should be set in /etc/init.d/nscd, because sometimes
'/etc/init.d/nscd start' fails with error:
Restarting Name Service Cache Daemon: nscd/etc/init.d/nscd: line 54:
start-stop-daemon: command not found
/etc/init.d/nscd: line 60: start-stop-daemon: command not found
/etc/init.d/nscd: line 39: start-stop-daemon: command not found
(failed -- old process is still running). failed!
This happens when running this crontab job (to make me sure service is
up and running):
22:19 root@Apollo [~] ##: crontab -l | grep nscd
* * * * * if [ -z "`pidof nscd`" ]; then /etc/init.d/nscd restart; fi
Here is little patch:
22:19 root@Apollo [~] ##: diff -u /etc/init.d/nscd.orig /etc/init.d/nscd
