Bug#669909: lsb-base: resetting a global variable (OPTIND) in a function, without declaring it local, can have unpleasent consequences
Package: lsb-base
Version: 4.1+Debian1
Severity: normal
start_daemon () {
local force nice pidfile exec args
--
OPTIND=1
--
pidofproc () {
local pidfile base status specified pid
--
OPTIND=1
--
killproc () {
local pidfile sig status base name_param is_term_sig
--
OPTIND=1
--
status_of_proc () {
local pidfile daemon name status
--
pidfile=
OPTIND=1
--
as it may overwrite the calling scope's OPTIND value.
