[gentoo-dev] Problems restarting services after they are stopped.

[gentoo-dev] Problems restarting services after they are stopped.

[Dan Naumov]

Hello.

Having recently installed GPM, I've decided to play with it and this is
what happens:

===================================================
localhost root # /etc/init.d/gpm start
 * Starting
gpm...                                                        [ ok ]

localhost root # /etc/init.d/gpm stop 
 * Stopping
gpm...                                                        [ ok ]

localhost root # /etc/init.d/gpm start
 * WARNING:  "gpm" has already been started.

localhost root # /etc/init.d/gpm restart
 * Stopping
gpm...                                                        [ !! ]
===================================================

This forces me to run "etc/init.d/gpm zap" to manually set gpm to
stopped state but this should really not happen. I've also heard of
other people on #gentoo having similar problems and not with gpm alone,
but pretty much every service. Any ideas on what's wrong ?

Sincerely,

gpm is broken and became masked.. 
emerge -C gpm 
emerge gpm

That issue has nothing to do with gpm itself, as a matter of fact, I
unmerged and merged it again before starting to play with it. Didn't
help. And as I mentioned in my previous email, other people are having
similar issues with restarting different services, not just gpm.

Sincerely,

I had a similar problem with several services when I was installing them
(bind, dhcpd). I didn't have the configuration files setup correctly, so the
services failed on startup. When I tried to restart them, I always got
the ".. has already been started" message and was unable to restart the service.
