           Summary: /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm not compatible with busybox's
                    /bin/ps
           Product: OpenMoko
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neo1973
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: sysinit
        AssignedTo: buglog at lists.openmoko.org
        ReportedBy: mail at mmontour.net
                CC: buglog at lists.openmoko.org


The "/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop" command returns the following message, and
fails to kill 'xinit':

root at 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 at 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
using MokoMakefile.
