2018-03-12man: document default retry sppecification for start-stop-daemonWilliam Hubbs
2016-12-05man/start-stop-daemon.8: clarify documentation about --pidfile optionWilliam Hubbs
The documentation implied that if you stop a daemon we handle multiple pids in a pid file. This is not correct. We only handle the first pid. X-Gentoo-Bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601540
2016-07-26start-stop-daemon: Add SSD_IONICELEVELKenneth Lakin
This is the disk IO counterpart to SSD_NICELEVEL. Modified by William Hubbs to add the variable to the start-stop-daemon man page. This fixes #69.
2015-12-21Convert OpenRC to a centralized copyright/license structureWilliam Hubbs
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope license/copyright structure. I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future maintenance.

2009-10-15fix wait time for gentoo bug 288495William Hubbs
The wait time was in seconds. This patch converts it to milliseconds.

2009-04-22Document -i, --interpreted flag.Roy Marples
2009-04-19-w, --wait secondsRoy Marples
New option so you can set the number of seconds to wait for and check the daemon is still running. The old code that periodically polled wasn't that reliable - in this case simpler == better. Fixes #160

updated accordingly
2007-04-05Rewrite the core parts in C. We now provide librc so other programs canRoy Marples
query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions. As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you should disable find too. zsh and ksh do not work at this time. Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash array based. As such, a new config format is available like so config_eth0="1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8/16" or like so config_eth0="'1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0' '5.6.7.8 netmask 255.255.0.0'" We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS a link it bash. ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo.
