Lintian tag: init.d-script-possible-missing-stop

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The given /etc/init.d script indicates it should be stopped at one of the
runlevels 0, 1, or 6 but not at all of them. This is usually a mistake.
Normally, facilities that need to be stopped at any of those runlevels
need to be stopped at all of them.

For example, if it is safe for the facility provided by this init script
to be stopped by sendsigs at runlevels 0 and 6, there should be no reason
to special case runlevel 1, where killprocs would stop it. If the facility
needs special shutdown handling when rebooting the system (runlevel 6), it
probably needs the same handling when halting the system (runlevel 0) or
switching to single-user mode (runlevel 1).
