Tag: init.d-script-should-always-start-service
Severity: error
Check: init-d
Explanation: The specified file under <code>/etc/default/</code> includes a line
such as <code>ENABLED=</code>, <code>DISABLED=</code>, <code>RUN=</code>, etc.
.
This is an older practice used so that the package's init script would
not start the service until the local system administrator changed this
value.
.
However, this hides from the underlying init system whether or not the
daemon should actually be started leading to confusing behavior
including <code>service package start</code> returning success without the
service actually starting.
.
Please remove this mechanism and disable enabling the daemon on install
via <code>dh_installinit --no-enable</code> or move to automatically
starting it.
