2012-06-09 04:59:50 Daniel Carosone description service --status-all reports some service status lines on stdout, others on stderr. noticable and poblematic especially when piping to less/grep/etc. presumably this is because it's calling multiple individual scripts each generating their own to inconsistent destinations. workaround is to remember to 2>&1, but that is dumb; if the scripts can't be made consistent then perhaps at least service(8) can at least do this internally? 12.04 current dist-upgrade as of today service --status-all reports some service status lines on stdout, others on stderr. noticable and problematic especially when piping to less/grep/etc. presumably this is because it's calling multiple individual scripts each generating their own output to inconsistent destinations. workaround is to remember to 2>&1, but that is dumb; if the scripts can't be made consistent then perhaps service(8) can at least do this internally? 12.04 current dist-upgrade as of today

Maybe there's some standard that says what these should do, and lots of bugs should be filed against each of the non-compliant ones? workaround is to remember to 2>&1, but that is dumb; if the scripts can't be made consistent then perhaps service(8) can at least do this redirect internally? 12.04 current dist-upgrade as of today
