[pkg-fso-maint] Bug#531869: /etc/init.d/nodm stop unreliable

[Sascha Silbe]

Package: nodm
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: normal


I experience a similar symptom in that "/etc/init.d/nodm stop" doesn't always work, but I'm not sure it has the same root cause.
The init script uses start-stop-daemon with a PID file, so it should always reach the supervisor. Nevertheless stopping nodm sometimes fails, the session just gets restarted. A second try will fail because the PID file got deleted; I need to "killall nodm" manually.
