Fixed In Version:	edac-utils-0.9-15.el6	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, the exit status of the edac-utils package init script was not set correctly. As a consequence, running the 'service edac status' command returned exit status 0, which was not expected behavior because no programs were running after executing the 'service edac start' command. With this update, the returned exit status has been changed to 3 in the described situation.	Story Points:	---

Description Ales Zelinka 2011-02-23 15:01:15 UTC

Description of problem:
edac-utils' initscript doesn't control any daemon. There is no program running after 'service edac start' finishes. So it only makes sense for 'service edac status' to exit with exit code 3 = program not running.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
edac-utils-0.9-12.el6.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
service edac start ; service edac status ; echo $?
  
Actual results:
0

Expected results:
3

Sorry, but this was not in the specification of the bug and the fix didn't introduce it, marking it as failed QA is wrong.
