Bug ID: 223132
Summary: /etc/rc.d/sendmail status returns the wrong exit code
Product: Base System
Version: 11.1-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: conf
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If you have a mail server that is running sendmail daemon (sendmail_enable=YES)
and sendmail queue runner (sendmail_msp_queue=YES) and the sendmai daemon dies,
/etc/rc.d/sendmail status does see the daemon is not running but returns 0 as
the exit code. This prevents other programs (like puppet) from restarting
sendmail to fix the issue. If the sendmail_msp_queue is not running, it will
return non zero as the exit code:
pirzyk@amigo:~
2>sudo /etc/rc.d/sendmail status; echo $?
sendmail is running as pid 874.
sendmail_msp_queue is running as pid 877.
0
pirzyk@amigo:~
3>sudo kill -9 874
pirzyk@amigo:~
4>sudo /etc/rc.d/sendmail status; echo $?
sendmail is not running.
sendmail_msp_queue is running as pid 877.
0
pirzyk@amigo:~
5>sudo /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart
sendmail not running? (check /var/run/sendmail.pid).
Starting sendmail.
pirzyk@amigo:~
6>sudo /etc/rc.d/sendmail status; echo $?
sendmail is running as pid 6189.
sendmail_msp_queue is running as pid 877.

7>sudo kill -9 877;
pirzyk@amigo:~
8>sudo /etc/rc.d/sendmail status; echo $?
sendmail is running as pid 6189.
