[Bug 406397] Re: init: job stuck with expect fork/daemon when parent reaps child

[Peter Júnoš]

When will be that rewrite complete?

Or anyone has workaround, how to kill start/killed or stop/killed job?
It could be only one-time job / script.

Bug description:
  Hi

Wrong use of the expect fork stanza can create job with status
  job stop/killled, process nnn
without any process nnn running on the system.

As an example the following avahi.conf should have used
"expect daemon", but will instead create a stuck job.

stop on stopping dbus-system
respawn
expect fork
exec avahi-daemon -D
