Subject: "service hostapd restart" *kills* hostapd

Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2017 00:46:36 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: hostapd
Version: 2:2.4-1.1
Severity: normal

Not sure why; /etc/init.d/hostapd restart restarts it successfully.

Saw this on an armhf system running testing.
/etc/default/hostapd contains DAEMON_CONF=/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf

Does your system run systemd or sysvinit? If systemd, what does
systemctl status hostapd say when after hostapd is killed?

I ran service hostapd restart; systemctl status hostapd and
that one said:

However, running systemctl status hostapd a second time after a minute had
changed:
