Hi chefs,

I'm having a problem when using chef debian init scripts. The
screenshot attached explains it better. The problem is that chef init
script does not behave consistently; It does not stop chef-client when
you try it but returns success, you have to manually kill chef-client.
It returns fail when starting it but the client is started.

I've seen this behavior at least on 0.8.16 and 0.9.0 also on both
ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04.

Is it a bug on the script?, does anyone know about this problem?.

Thanks in advance.
