This is a small thing, but it's bothering me.
I've got a startup script placed in /etc/init.d that starts up Xvfb for
me. I basically used the /etc/init.d/sendmail startup as a template.
start() {
# Start daemons.
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
daemon Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc &
RETVAL=0
echo
return $RETVAL
}
When I run
# service Xvfb start
I get "Starting Xvfb" w/o the "[ OK ]" at the end of the line. But
Xvfb does start up.
Also, when I do a
# ps -Ao "%u %p %P %a" | grep Xvfb
root 1528 1 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/Xvfb start
root 1529 1528 initlog -q -c Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
root 1530 1529 Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
Now when I run the same startup without the "daemon" in front of the
program name, I get
# ps -Ao "%u %p %P %a" | grep Xvfb
root 1583 1 Xvfb :1 -screen 0 6x6x8 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
which seems more reasonable.
Since I can get the script to startup what I want to start up, it's not
a big deal. I'm only doing this for aesthetics. But still...
