Description Anton 2011-11-14 16:16:44 UTC

Description of problem:
It's mostly openvz related problem.
OpenVZ host sees all daemons running inside containers. Init script on host system kills all instances of service.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 4,5,6

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup openvz container.
2.Start same service on host and inside VE for example ntpd.
3.Stop service on host system.
  
Actual results:
Daemon running inside container is stopped.

Expected results:
Host's init scripts don't hurt processes inside containers.

Additional info:
It's also applicable to more than one instance of service running on same system.
Some of scripts are killing processes by name not by pid. It causes such problems.
