Why do you need to prevent stopping daemon by script-level forcibly? I think that users/developers may want to restart the daemon at their own risk when it starts to behave something wrong or they change a configuration (since "reconfigure" may not be stable feature). # Maybe others have different opinion but I often use "restart". If you need this patch anyway, please add other options to stop/restart the daemon forcibly. (e.g. adding force-stop/force-restart) Thanks, Kiyoshi Ueda -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
