[Bug 1398622] Re: killproc function in /lib/lsb/init-functions is returning wrong status

[hemantha]

** Description changed:

  killproc function in /lib/lsb/init-functions is returning wrong status
  and pid file is not getting removed by this function.
- 
  
  The same issue can be observed with all below releases.
  
  $ cat /etc/issue
  Ubuntu 14.04 \n \l
  $ cat /etc/issue
  Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
  $ cat /etc/issue
  Ubuntu 12.04 \n \l
  
+ Ubuntu is not killing the process, but returns 0.
+ 
+ But RedHat killproc makes sure that the process is dead before returning
+ 0 otherwise it returns 1.
+ 
+ Hint:
+ I think below command can help to find out the status of the process.
+ 
+ /sbin/start-stop-daemon --status $name_param || status="$?"
+ 
  Let me know if you need additional information on this bug.

  Ubuntu is not killing the process, but returns 0.

  But RedHat killproc makes sure that the process is dead before
  returning 0 otherwise it returns 1.

  Hint:
  I think below command can help to find out the status of the process.

  /sbin/start-stop-daemon --status $name_param || status="$?"
