Public bug reported:
Using Canonical-provided AMI of Ubuntu 14.04, or the LXC Ubuntu 14.04
template, /etc/init.d/rsyslog is an init script. In Ubuntu 10.04 or
12.04, /etc/init.d/rsyslog was a symbolic link to /lib/init/upstart-job.
The problem here is that the init script does this:
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
And that file has this function, used later in /etc/init.d/rsyslog:
init_is_upstart()
{
if [ -x /sbin/initctl ] && /sbin/initctl version 2>/dev/null | /bin/grep -q
upstart; then
return 0
fi
return 1
}
Running /etc/init.d/rsyslog with start or restart commands results in a
return code of 1 because the case statement for these uses the
init_is_upstart function:
if init_is_upstart; then
exit 1
fi
I modified /etc/init.d/rsyslog on an instance to add "set -x", and
here's the results of running /etc/init.d/rsyslog start
ubuntu@rsyslog-bug:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog start
+ PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
+ DESC=enhanced syslogd
+ NAME=rsyslog
+ RSYSLOGD=rsyslogd
+ DAEMON=/usr/sbin/rsyslogd
+ PIDFILE=/var/run/rsyslogd.pid
+ SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/rsyslog

+ . /etc/default/rsyslog
+ RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS=
+ . /lib/lsb/init-functions
+ run-parts --lsbsysinit --list /lib/lsb/init-functions.d
+ [ -r /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/20-left-info-blocks ]
+ . /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/20-left-info-blocks
+ [ -r /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/50-ubuntu-logging ]
+ . /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/50-ubuntu-logging
+ LOG_DAEMON_MSG=
+ FANCYTTY=
+ [ -e /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh ]
+ true
+ init_is_upstart
+ [ -x /sbin/initctl ]
+ /bin/grep -q upstart
+ /sbin/initctl version
+ return 0
+ exit 1
The fix here is to properly create a symlink of /lib/init/upstart-job to
/etc/init.d/rsyslog, which will provide the sysv/lsb compatible
interface to manage the upstart job. This should be done in the package,
not by end users who are attempting to control their rsyslog service.
