Description Ales Zelinka 2009-09-07 12:54:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/Initscripts "service spamassassin
status" should return 2 when program is dead and /var/lock lock file exists.

Spamassassin service return 3 (which indicate stopped program with lock/pid cleaned
up)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spamassassin-3.3.0-0.6.alpha2.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.service spamassassin start
2.killall spamd
3.service spamassassin status ; echo $?
  
Actual results:
spamd is stopped
3

Expected results:
spamd dead but subsys locked
2


Additional info:
The correct exit code + error messages should be returned by "status" function
from /etc/init.d/functions. But it is not used, probably because of the
inconsistency between process names (spamd) and service name (spamassassin) that the "status" function can't handle.

That's just a random page in the wiki.  It has no force as a guideline.  I can't comment on whether the things in there are even remotely good ideas, but don't go quoting random wiki pages as if anything is supposed to obey them.
Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2009-09-08 23:09:25 UTC 
The real guideline page is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript 
and the filed bugs do seem to be valid against that page... 

See/continue discussion in the blocking bug for this one?

Fixed in spamassassin-3.3.0
