Description Daniel Hokka Zakrisson 2010-11-06 20:16:14 UTC

Description of problem:
rsyslog's initscript creates a lock file named rsyslogd. The initscript's name is rsyslog, and because these two don't match, rc will not run the stop action when shutting down the system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rsyslog-3.22.1-3.el5
rsyslog-4.4.2-6.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with rsyslog enabled
2. Check /var/lock/subsys

Thanks for the report.
In Fedora, this will be fixed with the next update.

Comment 2 Karanbir Singh 2011-07-26 12:25:02 UTC

Looks like this is also an issue in RHEL-6
