Could I have a debug log of the process of start and stop activity please. Ian I'll try and duplicate this on my FC6test1 instance and see what happens. The autofs debug log you posted, was the service stop run while it was logging? It looks like nothing ever got to autofs. Ian Yes, I sent the debug log for the time (+30 secs) that I ran the three commands mentioned earlier. I noticed the debug log didn't show any activity either when I tried to stop it. I'm guessing the init script is having a problem finding the PID of the automount daemon and thus 'status' reports the daemon is stopped and 'stop' can't actually stop a daemon it can't find. This is just a gut feeling, though, and I haven't spent much time debugging it yet. Jeff I just added set -x to the beginning of the init script to see what it was running to find the PID of the automount daemon. It ran pidof -c -o 20780 -o 20777 -o %PPID -x automount and didn't get anything back. Out of curiosity, I ran it by hand and removed the -c flag and it found the PID of the automount daemon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [root@millipede init.d]# pgrep automount 20747 [root@millipede init.d]# pidof -c -o 20780 -o 20777 -o %PPID -x automount [root@millipede init.d]# pidof automount 20747 [root@millipede init.d]# pidof -o 20780 -o 20777 -o %PPID -x automount 20747 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I then edited the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file and removed the '-c' option from the __pids_pidof() function and now 'service autofs status' and 'service autofs stop' work. I guess this is a bug with the initscripts package, not autofs. I looked at the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file on my RHEL4 U3 system and the pidof command does not use the '-c' option.

I'll have a play around with it and add the initscripts maintainer to the copy list when I post my findings and see if we can get some attention. Ian I update my FC6 box again this morning and re-checked this. It's now at autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.8 initscripts-8.43-1 and the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file still uses the -c option with pidof, however, everything seems to be working now, so whatever was causing the problems with earlier FC6 test releases seems to be fixed. You can probably close this BZ. Thanks! Jeff |
