Bug Description
Binary package hint: autofs
root@guapuraT61:~# /etc/init.d/autofs stop
Stopping automounter: done.
root@guapuraT61:~# /etc/init.d/autofs stop
Stopping automounter: done.
root@guapuraT61:~# /etc/init.d/autofs start
Starting automounter: done.
root@guapuraT61:~# /etc/init.d/autofs start
Starting automounter:
failed to start automount point /net
done.
As you can see in the output above, if the autofs daemon is already running and you try to start the service, the output "failed to start automount point /net" tells you nothing about why the service was unable to start. I propose that a check be in place in the start script to see if the autofs daemon is currently running; if it is, inform the user of this.
