You're right. Thanks for the report. I'm building a fixed package. Fixed in 3.3.3r2-22. |
Description of Problem: stop of vnc service fails if vnc users (defined in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers) use other shells (eg. tcsh). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vnc-server-3.3.3r2-18 Steps to Reproduce: 1.create user with default shell = /bin/tcsh 2.create vnc account for this user (in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers). 3.set vnc password for user. 4.run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver start" 5.run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver stop" Actual Results: Shutting down VNC server: 10:itai Ambiguous output redirect. [FAILED] Expected Results: Shutting down VNC server: 10:itai [ OK ] Additional Information: This is because in /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver (line 46) "su ${display##*:} -c \"vncserver -kill :${display%%:*} >/dev/null 2>&1\"" The redirect to /dev/null is done on the user's shell. That's OK if the user is using bask (or sh or ksh) but wrong for users that run tcsh. Easy workaround: Change above line to: "su ${display##*:} -c \"vncserver -kill :${display%%:*}\" >/dev/null 2>&1" (that will take the redirection out of the arg to su -c. The redirection will be done on the caller's shell which is /bin/bash).
