Description
The "/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop" command returns the following message, and
fails to kill 'xinit':
root@fic-gta01:/etc$ /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop
Stopping XServer
/bin/ps: invalid option -- e
BusyBox? v1.2.1 (2007.06.04-01:44+0000) multi-call binary
Usage: ps
root@fic-gta01:/etc$ ps | grep xinit
1158 root 720 S xinit /etc/X11/Xsession -- /usr/bin/Xfbdev :0 -br -pn
1332 root 632 S grep xinit
The init.d script tries to use "ps -e x" to get a list of running processes, but
the busybox implementation of /bin/ps does not accept any command-line arguments.
This can be fixed by using '/bin/pidof' to get the PID of xinit.
Observed on an openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070803091138 rootfs image built
