Description Eduard Benes 2009-09-09 14:04:02 UTC
Description of problem:
Testing init script according to guidelines at [1],[2],[3] shows that radiusd
does not recognize 'force-reload' action, as required by LSB.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeradius RPM version: 2.1.6-6.fc12

Actual results:
# service radiusd force-reload ; echo $?
Usage: /etc/init.d/radiusd {start|stop|status|restart|reload|condrestart}
1
# service radiusd hello; echo $?
Usage: /etc/init.d/radiusd {start|stop|status|restart|reload|condrestart}
1
Also it would be nice to return 3, rather than 1 (unimplemented feature).

Expected results:
recognize the force-reload action and according to [1] do:
 * force-reload: "force-reload cause the configuration to be reloaded if the
service supports this, otherwise restart the service if it is running."

Comment 1 Eduard Benes 2009-09-09 14:10:08 UTC
Ohh! Having another look at the init script, this is REALLY a bad practice and should be fixed in /etc/rc.d/init.d/radiusd:

[ -f $RADIUSD ] || exit 0
[ -f $CONFIG ] || exit 0

Please make it conform to following guidelines, thanks.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Created attachment 375915 [details]
proposed new initscript

I have reworked the initscript and it is attached. Before committing it I thought I would post it here for review just to make sure all your concerns are addressed.

Comment 4 John Dennis 2010-01-07 17:24:12 UTC
fixed as of 2.1.7-3
