Description Takashi Iwai 2005-08-26 10:57:16 UTC 
A startpar process remains after boot is finished.  It seems always ial, which
is the last started service.

ps auxw | grep ial
root      4955  0.0  0.3   4148  1524 ?        S    12:41   0:00 /usr/sbin/iald
root      4964  0.0  0.0   1520   452 ?        Ss   12:41   0:00 startpar -f -- ial

Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-26 11:08:14 UTC 
Does the boot scsript of ial finish?
Is the iald a real daemon which uses
setsid(2)?
Comment 2 Timo Hoenig 2005-08-26 11:14:06 UTC 
I've seen that

   $ rc$SERVICENAME {start|stop|restart}

does not work for all services on Beta 4.

For example:

g0:~ # rccups status
Checking for cupsd:                                                   running
g0:~ # rccups stop
Shutting down cupsd                                                   done
g0:~ # rccups status
Checking for cupsd:                                                   running

No, it does not use setsid.
Comment 4 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-26 11:26:58 UTC 
The program is not a real daemon and it seems not to close
its file descriptors. IMHO the iald should be started with
the startproc options -q and -s to get it to a real daemon.
Comment 5 Timo Hoenig 2005-08-26 11:31:12 UTC 
I'm testing this right now.
Comment 6 Timo Hoenig 2005-08-26 11:35:28 UTC 
Works fine, new package submitted.

just an other /etc/init.d/ial script

You may consider this as rc.ial
Comment 8 Timo Hoenig 2005-08-26 11:38:47 UTC 
Should I open a new bug for the disfunction of {stop|restart} for several services?
Comment 9 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-26 11:40:43 UTC 
What do you mean with disfunction of {stop|restart} for several services?
A resart including dbus and ial?
Comment 10 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-26 11:41:39 UTC 
Takashi?  Please could you test the new ial package in combination
with startpar?

No, I was referring to comment #2.  Several services are not stopped on

   $ rc$SERVICENAME stop
