Description Ingvar Hagelund 2009-01-23 07:17:29 UTC

Description of problem:
initscript condrestart does not call status

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.4p5-2.fc10 (and all previous)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service ntpd start
2. pkill -9 ntpd
3. service ntpd condrestart

Actual results:
daemon starts though it was dead

Expected results:
daemon was dead, and should not be resurrected just because the pidfile exists

Additional info:
This behaviour is typically old-style RedHat, and many daemon init scripts
behave like this. According to 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript
condrestart and try-restart should use the status function (from
/etc/sysconfig/functions), and not just rely on the pidfile.
