Description Brian Brock 2006-03-08 17:06:17 EST 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xen-3.0.1-3

How reproducible:
varies with kernel flavor

under 2.6.15-1.2032_FC5xen0 the xend initscript gives the exit codes:
# service xend status
# echo $?
3
# service xend start
# echo $?
0
# service xend status
# echo $?
0

So, under -xen0, an exit code of 0 from `service xend` indicates that xend is
successfully running.

Under 2.6.15-1.2032_FC5smp:

# service xend status
# echo $?
0
# service xend start
# echo $?
0
# service xend status
# echo $?
0

Expected results:
Exit codes of commands should be consistent - 0 should not indicate success on
one kernel, and failure on another.  The exit codes aren't useful as they
currently exist.

Is this bug still valid?  If not, please close.
Comment 2 Brian Brock 2006-11-13 16:40:59 EST 
kernel-2.6.18-1.2740.el5
xen-3.0.3-6.el5

Currently, xend appears to always return 0.

Checked permutations of start, stop, status with xend running.  Also checked
initscript commands under the non-xen kernel.

Initscript commands (e.g. `service xend start`) under the non-xen kernel fail
silently.
Comment 3 Brian Brock 2006-11-13 16:43:19 EST 
above behavior actually looks like a different bug, I'll search and file another
that's more appropriate.
