Example: root@mei:~# /etc/init.d/ssh start ; echo $? Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. 0 root@mei:~# /etc/init.d/ssh status ; echo $? sshd is running. 0 root@mei:~# /etc/init.d/ssh stop ; echo $? Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd. 0 root@mei:~# /etc/init.d/ssh status ; echo $? could not access PID file for sshd ... failed! 4
This makes a bit of sense because without a PID file there is no way for pidofproc() in /lib/lsb/init-functions to know what process PID to look for. In setting up a cluster I had to hack the init.d scripts to return 3 when status_of_proc was returning 4. Bug # 494623 seems to have fixed this once. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
