strongSwan

Hello,

I've updated my 5.5.0 install to 5.5.3 and strongswan wouldn't start after the update. After further investigation I found that ipsec starter can't be called directly anymore (I had something like this in my startup script: $STARTER starter --auto-update 150 || return 2). But according to ipsec --help it is still a valid command:

root@strongSwan:~/strongswan-5.5.3# ipsec --version
Linux strongSwan U5.5.3/K4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
Institute for Internet Technologies and Applications
University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil, Switzerland
See 'ipsec --copyright' for copyright information.

root@strongSwan:~/strongswan-5.5.3# ipsec --help
ipsec command [arguments]

        scepclient|pki

        version

Refer to the ipsec(8) man page for details.
Some commands have their own man pages, e.g. pki(1) or scepclient(8).

root@strongSwan:~/strongswan-5.5.3# ipsec starter
/usr/sbin/ipsec: unknown command `starter' (`ipsec --help' for list)

So I'm wondering is this a bug in ipsec or a documentation issue in ipsec --help?

Just in case anyone is searching for this, changing my startup script to $STARTER start --auto-update 150 || return 2 worked fine.

Best Regards,
Marcel
