Issue #1856 has been updated by ianburrell.
An alternative is to change the pidfile to be /var/run/puppet.pid. The killproc function in /etc/init.d/functions used by stop will get the pid from /var/run/puppetd.pid before pidof is available. The PIDFILE in /etc/init.d/puppet is /var/run/puppet/puppet.pid. And the default rundir in puppet.conf is /var/run/puppet. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to tell killproc to use a different pidfile. I don't think this should be changed by default but you could change /etc/sysconfig/puppet and puppet.conf to use a different pidfile. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1856: redhat init script doesn't honor pidfile on shutdown/reload http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1856 Author: mfournier Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: lutter Category: Red Hat Target version: Complexity: Trivial Affected version: 0.24.7 Keywords: redhat init script shutdown cron When puppet is run "by hand" and something happens to run "service puppet stop" at the same time, puppet get's killed because the initscript calls "pidof puppet" instead of checking if a pidfile exists. This is an problem when puppet is configured to be run by cron and is instructed to ensure no puppet service is running. Puppet sort of kills himself halfway through the job. Attached is a patch which solves the issue. ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
