Backward compatibility enabled for "killproc()" and "status()"
Prior to this update, the `/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions` script shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 lacked some of the features of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 counterpart.
The _initscripts_ package has been updated to add support for the "-b" option to the "killproc()" and "status()" functions in the `/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions` file. This addition enables backward compatibility for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and prevents possible regressions when performing an upgrade from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Hello Martin, first of all - __pids_var_run() in RHEL6 does not have '-b' option AFAIK, because it does not need it. It's an internal function of initscripts, and calling it directly is *NOT SUPPORTED* by initscripts (and thus by Red Hat). Nevertheless, I will look into the option to to do a forward backport of patch from RHEL-6 to RHEL-7. Pull-request submitted: https://github.com/fedora-sysv/initscripts/pull/83 Commit was merged into RHEL-7 branch. Verified by TC. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
