Description Barnaby Court 2017-03-13 14:31:16 UTC

Description of problem:

systemctl stop rhsmcertd leaves /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid behind. The pid file should be cleaned up when the process is stopped. This does not cause problems for restarting the process but it does look strange. 

+ ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Mar 10 16:46 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
+ cat /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
11493
+ systemctl stop rhsmcertd
+ sleep 5
+ ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Mar 10 16:46 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
+ cat /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
11493

Stopping that really ought to clean up the .pid file.

Comment 2 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-04-13 15:06:07 UTC

Reproducer:

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# systemctl start rhsmcertd

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5 Apr 13 10:33 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# systemctl stop rhsmcertd
[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5 Apr 13 10:33 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid


Verification:

Kevin,

Dont see any /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid file being created when you start rhsmcertd service, was that intentional?

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# systemctl start rhsmcertd
[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# sleep 120
[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
ls: cannot access /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid: No such file or directory

Comment 3 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-04-13 15:06:39 UTC

Forgot add the version of RHSM 

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.19.7-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.4-1.el7

Comment 4 Kevin Howell 2017-04-13 20:04:23 UTC

Shwetha, the cert.pid file may be short lived as it is only acquired for a short time during a check-in/autoheal.

Comment 5 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-04-17 07:22:12 UTC

Verified!!

[root@dhcp35-160 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 2.1.0-1
subscription management rules: 5.23
subscription-manager: 1.19.7-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.4-1.el7


[root@dhcp35-160 ~]# service rhsmcertd restart
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart  rhsmcertd.service
[root@dhcp35-160 ~]# sleep 120
[root@dhcp35-160 ~]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
ls: cannot access /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid: No such file or directory
[root@dhcp35-160 ~]# service rhsmcertd stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop  rhsmcertd.service
[root@dhcp35-160 ~]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
