https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D285001 Bug ID: 285001 Summary: service(8): clarify that -R does not use the restart method for each service Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ceri@FreeBSD.org CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 257779 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D257779&action= =3Dedit A patch to the service(8) manpage. If a service, say foo, has overridden restart_cmd in its rc.d/foo file then this will be effective when called with "service foo restart". The service(8) command has a -R argument which purports to restart each service. However, it actually calls "service foo stop" followed by "service foo start", rendering the override of restart_cmd ineffective. This is pretty niche, but can be simply clarified in the manpage. Patch attached. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
