Description G.Wolfe Woodbury 2009-09-04 13:11:14 UTC

Description of problem:
 using /sbin/service as non-root user (e.g. service httpd status) reports
"subsystem locked but httpd dead" when, in fact, the sub-system is alive and well.


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


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install F11, make users, etc.
2. configure and start httpd
3. as non-root user type "/sbin/service httpd status"
  
Actual results:
"Subsystem locked but httpd dead."

Expected results:
report of httpd status that is correct (or that you don't have permission to read the pid files.)

Additional info:
There has been some discussion on the fedora-test-list about this.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2009-09-04 16:48:31 UTC

/sbin/service has no control over the output; it's entirely dependent on what /etc/init.d/httpd does.
