[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#718347: bootlogd keeps on running after boot

[jidanni at jidanni.org]

Package: bootlogd
Version: 2.88dsf-43
Severity: wishlist

1. Why do these entries persist long after even rc.local has finished?

# pstree -aA|grep boot
  |               |-grep boot
  |-bootlogd -c -l /run/bootlog
  |-startpar -f -- bootlogd

One notes that an /etc/inid.d/bootlogd stop
fixes the problem and finally writes /var/log/boot ...
So there should be a stop action added when one reaches runlevels above 2 etc.

2. Also note the several [Errno 2]s etc. below:
