gsm-utils daemon cannot start due to init.d bug

[Christoph Haas]

The gsm-utils daemon in Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) can't be started du to a problem in the order of commands in the init.d script.

This patch will fix it:

23,26d22
< if [ "$RUNGSMSMS" != "yes" ];then
< echo "GSM SMS deamon not yet configured. Edit /etc/default/gsm-utils first."
< exit 0
< fi
37a34,38
>
> if [ "$RUNGSMSMS" != "yes" ];then
> echo "GSM SMS deamon not yet configured. Edit /etc/default/gsm-utils first."
> exit 0
> fi

The cause of the problem is that

   "$RUNGSMSMS" != "yes"

is checked before the actual /etc/default/gsm-utils file is sourced using

   test -r /etc/default/gsm-utils && . /etc/default/gsm-utils # for overwriting some parameters

This is easy to fix but basically renders the daemon process unusuable.

Ignore the ProcEnviron.txt please. I created the bug report from my laptop but it affects an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server.

Duplicate of LP: #30228 . The fix is present in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and later releases.

Closing since Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is completely EOL now.
