             Summary: zookeeper initd script status doesn't work
                 Key: BIGTOP-729
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-729
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Init scripts
            Reporter: Brian Sutherland
            Priority: Minor


I have a situation where puppet is continually attempting to restart zookeeper. 
It appears as if {{/etc/init.d/zookeeper-server status}} returns the wrong 
answer in some cases. I can workaround this by setting the COLUMNS environment 
variable just before the {{ps}} in hadoop_is_process_alive().

What is actually setting (or unsetting) this is a mystery, but I don't think 
its right for the init script to break.

{noformat}
$ COLUMNS=80 ps -fp 2539 | grep 2539 | grep zookeeper >/dev/null ; echo $?
1
$ COLUMNS=1000 ps -fp 2539 | grep 2539 | grep zookeeper >/dev/null ; echo $?
0
{noformat}

It seems to me as if this method of using ps to check the daemon status is too 
fragile.
