[Bug 448514] [NEW] BOINC core client warns incorrectly on startup

[Stephen Day]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: boinc

/etc/init.d/boinc-client contains:
...
        if [ ! `echo $FOO | grep  -- '--daemon' 1>/dev/null` ]; then
                log_warning_msg "\`--deamon' option detected \
                        on /etc/default/boinc-client, this \
                        can cause problems on boinc. The option \
                        will be suppressed"
                        BOINC_OPTS=`echo "$BOINC_OPTS" | sed 's/--daemon//'`
        fi
...

$FOO doesn't appear to be set anywhere and the test is checking for the
inverse result. The result is I get this warning displayed on each
startup even though I do not have '--daemon' set in /etc/default/boinc-
client.

I believe the correct code should be something like:
...
        echo $BOINC_OPTS | grep -q -- '--daemon'
        if [ '$?' -eq 0 ]; then
                log_warning_msg "\`--daemon' option detected in /etc/default/boinc-client. This option will be suppressed."
                BOINC_OPTS=`echo "$BOINC_OPTS" | sed 's/--daemon//'`
        fi
...
