You are forcing the compatibility between sysv and systemd into a corner here. I understand that your idea is to provide a simple case to reproduce the bug, but let's step back for a second and look at this statement:
""" The initscript is used as a LSB RA for pacemaker deployments; this bug effectively prevents pacemaker from realizing that haproxy is down (in some cases). """ The above is the original reason for this bug. Is masking the service via systemd one of those cases? As you saw in /lib/lsb/init- functions.d/40-systemd, the 0 exit status is quite explicit for masked services, and not something we should change lightly. Another option, I'm guessing, would be to change pacemaker to use systemctl instead of the initscript directly. No idea how feasible that is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu High Availability Team, which is subscribed to haproxy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1810926 Title: initscript status check is too fragile Status in haproxy package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: `/etc/init.d/haproxy status` will return 0 if the pidfile is present, regardless of whether haproxy is actually running. I suggest for the check to be rewritten to actually look for a process with that PID (e.g. `pgrep -F $PIDFILE`). How to reproduce: chmod -x /usr/sbin/haproxy service haproxy restart Result: RC of `service haproxy status` is 3, but RC of `/etc/init.d/haproxy status` is 0 Impact: The initscript is used as a LSB RA for pacemaker deployments; this bug effectively prevents pacemaker from realizing that haproxy is down (in some cases). Tested on: root@juju-8d5e58-14:~# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS Release: 16.04 root@juju-8d5e58-14:~# dpkg -s haproxy | grep Version Version: 1.6.3-1ubuntu0.1 This bug is present in the most recent debian package upstream as well (1.9.0-1), but I think it would make sense to track this here first as we have a lot of OpenStack installations on Xenial that would benefit from receiving a fix.
