Hi,
This doesn't usually indicate that the reload was successful,
just that you were able to send the process a SIGHUP. As such I think
printing "ok" here gives a false sense of security.
Yes and no... Some daemons, like nginx, have custom rc_reload command that
actually does useful stuff and sanity checking.
Example:
# /etc/rc.d/nginx reload
nginx(failed)
# RC_DEBUG=1 /etc/rc.d/nginx reload
doing rc_check
doing rc_reload
[emerg]: unknown directive "test" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1
nginx(failed)
Without "nginx(failed)" output, most people would assume that nginx reloaded
successfully.
Granted, there are only 8 ports with custom rc_reload logic, but why should
they suffer?
