Some admin ran find / -exec rm -f {} \;, when they meant to run find

I'd run "rpm -Va" and examine the output. Anything it shows in the output is something that differs from what should be installed and what actually is. See the rpm man page for details. Run yum reinstall for any package that appears to have issues. > Believe me, I am.

It should still be fine to run yum reinstall on a package, unless the customer has actually done something to rely on the brokenness of the system. > And as far as the /etc/init.d/functions file goes, C7 doesn't place it > there, it's in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions, so symlinking to it from > /etc/init.d/ fixed that particular problem. /etc/init.d is supposed to be a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/init.d, if they're not then you need to fix that, and before you fix that you'll need to move any scripts you put inside it to /etc/rc.d.init.d. The damage you're seeing here is because they have somehow become separate directories on the server. > But, right now, the box is stable for what it will be doing, I would not call that stable, I can just about guarantee that it will have problems down the road if you keep running it in this state.

Unfortunately and unbeknownst to me, this box has been in production on the customer side for a couple of weeks now. I've checked every other box that's been kickstarted for the last month and none show the same problems. It's really bizarre. And as far as the /etc/init.d/functions file goes, C7 doesn't place it there, it's in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions, so symlinking to it from /etc/init.d/ fixed that particular problem. The weird issue with /usr/share/perl5/ is that there was some files and directories there, just not everything, so it wasn't completely empty. I have no real answer to that, though. But, right now, the box is stable for what it will be doing, and I've got a production MySQL server to troubleshoot why it's imploded twice the last two nights after being up for 400 days without trouble.
