Hello,
my root is mounted ro, and I want to start a daemon with start-stop-daemon as follows:
# start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/utelnetd.pid --background --make-pidfile --exec /sbin/utelnetd
This call is silent and exits with 0, but my telnet daemon is not started.
Without --background I get an error as expected:
# start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/utelnetd.pid --make-pidfile --exec /sbin/utelnetd
start-stop-daemon: Unable to write pidfile '/var/run/utelnetd.pid': Permission denied
With the start-stop-daemon on my host (from debian package dpkg-1.13.10)
I also get an error with --background.
I didn't look in the source, but probably this is easy to fix.
If I find some time I will prepare a patch[1].
Best regards
Uwe
