Description Petr Šplíchal 2009-09-14 14:15:46 UTC

Program is dead and /var/lock lock file exists is not reported:

# service freeipmi-ipmidetectd stop
Shutting down ipmidetectd:                                 [  OK  ]
# touch /var/lock/subsys/freeipmi-ipmidetectd 
# service freeipmi-ipmidetectd status

Actual results:
ipmidetectd is stopped
# echo $?
0

Expected results:
program is dead and /var/lock lock file exists
# echo $?
2

Comment 1 Petr Šplíchal 2009-09-14 14:23:00 UTC

The same applies to freeipmi-bmc-watchdog script.

Comment 2 Jan Safranek 2009-09-24 06:29:37 UTC

the status() function from /etc/init.d/functions is not happy with the lockfile and daemon binary having different name (freeipmi-ipmidetectd vs ipmidetectd) and reports misleading error codes.

I've sent few patches upstream to fix this (and other initscript problems):

Comment 3 Jan Safranek 2009-10-02 09:48:49 UTC

Patches were accepted and they should be part of upcoming freeipmi-0.8.1 release.
