Thanks for your bug. I've just tried on a bunch of softwares from init.d and several have that issue, that might be something to change to the lsb-base package |

Verified on Feisty that removing --exec makes it work. Additionally, the --oknodo argument to start-stop-daemon makes the script return success even if it did not kill gdm.
I guess start-stop-daemon should just ignore the --exec argument when --stop is present? At least not just ignore everything and quit.
OTOH if this is expected behavior from start-stop-daemon, many init scripts must be fixed. |

Binary package hint: gdm
Non-root user trying to stop gdm gets the following:
$ /etc/init.d/gdm stop
* Stopping GNOME Display Manager... [ ok ]
Should there instead be an error message, since gdm is not actually stopped?
Using gdm version 2.14.6-0ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Dapper. |
