aim for U3 ?
With RHEL3 in critical-bugfix-only maintenance mode, there will be no further major updates, so this bug is a WONTFIX. (In reply to comment #2) > With RHEL3 in critical-bugfix-only maintenance mode, there will be no further > major updates, so this bug is a WONTFIX. ? ? ? after three and a half years and seven updates, no-one can make a one character change? ? ? ? Unfortunately, sometimes things slip through the cracks. For three and a half years... :\ All I can say is we're working on doing better going forward, and we did manage to fix it for RHEL4 and 5. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922 Description of problem: /var/lock/subsys/irqbalance is not created by the init script, so it is never stopped but is always spawned, resulting in multiple instances. eg: 'telinit 1; telinit 5'. you now have two. the script doesn't create the lockfile when *not* in 'oneshot' mode, which i believe is incorrect. irregardless, the handling is such that multiple instances are created... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. telinit 1 2. telinit 5 3. Actual Results: multiple instances of irqbalance Expected Results: /var/lock/subsys/irqbalance should be created when not in 'oneshot' mode so that /etc/rc.d/rc will actually do a '/etc/init.d/irqbalance stop' (rather than ignoring it and continuing) Additional info:
