For example: http://www.linux-foundation.org/spec//booksets/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic.html#INISCRPTACT The service is running or OK -> output is 0 Are we reading the same document? From the very link you sent: "3 program is not running" Hm, I was sure, that I fixed all init scripts. I'll fix it in next update of vixie-cron. vixie-cron-4.2-9.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/vixie-cron-4.2-9.fc8 vixie-cron-4.2-9.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update vixie-cron'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F8/FEDORA-2008-9310 vixie-cron-4.2-9.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Description of problem: When running "service crond status", the return value is the same regardless of whether crond is running or not. Additional information: Most daemons return a different value. The internal "status" function in /etc/init.d/functions does return different values but the crond init script fails to pass these on via $RETVAL. Snippet from crond init script: ============================== status) status $CROND ;; ============================== Comparable section from httpd init script (which does the right thing): ============================== status) status $httpd RETVAL=$? ;; ============================== Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vixie-cron-4.2-8.fc8 How to reproduce: # service crond status crond (pid 2769) is running... # echo $? 0 # service crond stop Stopping crond: [ OK ] # service crond status crond is stopped # echo $? 0 The last value should not be 0.
