I noticed that the solaris afs.rc files have an unscheduled reboot in the script. This is a very nasty practice, and resulted in an unscheduled reboot of a production solaris server because I didn't review the rc script closely enough. My bad. Somehow, I had become fairly lax with respect to OpenAFS, assuming that people who checked in code were more responsible. I suppose we all make mistakes. This was with the 1.5.17 version, but I see that reboots were also in the 1.2.9 version. I haven't looked at earlier versions. But I notice that its not just Solaris that has this problem.
Try going back to 1.0. Changes since then were copyright language, and installing an option for the afsdb switch. I suppose I could pontificate about how easy it is to run cvs log, but I won't. This is the first complaint I recall, in any case.
You could contribute a patch. It's not clear to me that it's the right answer, but the reboot isn't very polite either.
So, I suppose it is necessary to pontificate a bit on the subject, and explain why rebooting in an init/rc script is a bad idea.
What gave you that idea? _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
