If so then it's undocumented behaviour - s-s-d's manpage expects --stop to |
| 13 |
stop the daemon. In the same way that s-s-d expects the daemon to actually be |
| 14 |
a daemon instead of a shell script that launches daemons. |

This change was made months ago, has been in ~ARCH for months and only now |
| 17 |
just appears? This has been in a released baselayout since March 2005. lol |

A quick grep through the tree shows the following packages using |
| 20 |
start-stop-daemon to send a HUP signal |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
capisuite |
| 23 |
dnsmasq (has been changed to kill, but not rev bumped) |
| 24 |
freeradius |
| 25 |
netkit-timed |
| 26 |
proxyper |
| 27 |
hostapd |
| 28 |
acpid (has been changed to kill in its ~ARCH version) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Whereas all other init scripts that send a HUP use kill or killall - examples |
| 31 |
are spamassassin and syslog-ng |
