:: Workaround ::
Set default shell to bash which accepts -1 as a value to exit.

The error is in the bayonne control script in version 1.2.16 of Gutsy. This occurs when the control script want to stop the server and no instance is running. It the tries to exit with a value of -1 which is illegal for the default shell dash

I'm confirming but it's probably a won't fix.

A quick and dirty workaround is to change the default shell to bash or edit the bayonne script and change the first line to bash.

Can you tell me the name of the bayonne script, as I am unable to locate it to change make the changes to the first line.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

The faulty script is /usr/sbin/bayonne

Is this still an issue for anyone? I have no problems installing bayonne 2.3.2-3ubuntu1 from Lucid. If this is still an issue for anyone, please shout.
