[debian-mysql] Bug#802044: mysql-proxy: `systemctl stop mysql-proxy` fails to kill the running processes

[Olivier Le Cam]

Package: mysql-proxy
Version: 0.8.1-1.1+b1
Severity: normal

The PID saved in $PIDFILE is not correct. This prevents start-stop-daemon to stop the service.

~# cat /var/run/mysql-proxy.pid
3052

~# pidof mysql-proxy
3055 3054

As a workaround, one can configure mysql-proxy to write the PID by itself, like for example:
-- /etc/default/mysql-proxy:
ENABLED="true"
OPTIONS="--defaults-file=/etc/mysql-proxy/mysql-proxy.conf --log-use-syslog --pid-file=/var/run/mysql-proxy.pid"
