Details

If I try to restart the jobqueue.pl daemon remotely with this command:

ssh pm-app-bugs01 /sbin/service bugzilla-queue restart

The ssh command never exits because the tty didn't get released when it forked.
Hmm. This seems more like something to talk to the Daemon-Generic author about.
Severity: normal → minor
fwiw, I discovered if I force a tty in ssh like so:

ssh -t pm-app-bugs01 /sbin/service bugzilla-queue restart

Then it properly releases the terminal, so apparently Daemon-Generic must be assuming if there's no tty then there's nothing to detatch from (which isn't necessarily the case, as I've proven here).
