Update: I did find one earlier ticket reference to this (usually it just comes up in IRC) but since it may only be a related issue, I made a new specific ticket here: http://code.fabfile.org/issues/show/395 I also tried to reproduce it myself on latest master, and I can -- but not consistently. I'd say maybe 50% or less of the time it fails to start (in this case, apache2, on an Ubuntu 10.04 VM). As reported by yourself and others, the return values of the function are the same regardless of actual success or failure. I'll dig more and see what I can find -- I still suspect something in the way init scripts work is the culprit here, so the trick will be figuring out what that is and how we can deal with it on our end (or at least educate users.) Hopefully it's something tty-related, which is easily manipulated with the pty kwarg. -Jeff -- Jeff Forcier Unix sysadmin; Python/Ruby engineer http://bitprophet.org _______________________________________________ Fab-user mailing list Fab-user@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fab-user
