Description Eugene Kanter 2001-11-21 17:07:45 UTC

Description of Problem:

The root cause: amd does not remove its /var/run/amd.pid file when asked 
to exit.

The result:

impossible to start/restart amd using /etc/rc.d/init.d/amd scripts.

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

am-utils-6.0.6-3

How Reproducible:

always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. stop amd: service amd stop
2. start amd from command line: amd -F /etc/amd.conf
3. stop amd from command line: kill -TERM `cat /var/run/amd.pid`
4. attempt to restart amd: service amd restart: nothing happends:
Stopping amd:
Starting amd:
5. service amd status:

amd dead but pid file exists

Actual Results:

see above.

Expected Results:

service amd restart should be able to recover from "amd dead but pid file 
exists" situation.
