Issue #1809 has been updated by lutter.

We can either fix that by patching upstream when we build the RHEL4 tarball, or 
keep a different init script in puppet's git for RHEL4 .. any preferences ?

For client.init, the fix is obvious: remove the -p from the status command, 
thus breaking #1646 on RHEL4.

For server.init, there shouldn't be an issue unless you use the multi-mongrel 
setup; in that case, I don't see a way to make this work on RHEL4. It would 
really require a separate init script for each mongrel instance.

Bug #1809: "status -p" in init scripts not available before Red Hat Server 5
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1809

Author: stevev
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: lutter
Category: Red Hat
Target version: unplanned
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.6
Keywords: 


conf/redhat/client.init and conf/redhat/server.init use "status -p pidfile" in 
their "status" method, which is available in Red Hat Server 5 but not earlier 
Red Hat versions.  "status -p pidfile" fails on Red Hat 4 and earlier in such a 
way that the init script always thinks puppetd is not running.

0.24.5 simply used "status $puppetd" which seemed to work, although maybe it 
had other problems.
