Description Need Real Name 2002-12-12 17:55:24 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
When running 'service nfslock start', the init script does not do a check to see
if there is already another process running.  Each time this command is run,
another process is spawned.  When running 'service nfslock status', a new PID is
listed every time a new service/process is spawned.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.service nfslock status
2.record pid
3.service nfslock start
4.service nfslock status
5.compare pid(s)
6.repeat
	

Actual Results:  You end up having multiple instances of the process running as
you initiate the service start command.

Expected Results:  You should have a check run to see if there is a process
running already.  If there is a process already running, the service/process
should not add another process.

I have added a check to the service init script to check if it is already running.
nfs-utils-1_0_1-2_8 has the fix.

A patch that stop multiple statds from starting

- Added the dropping of a pid file to stop statd
  from starting when there is already a process running.
- During startup, the parent now delays to ensure
  the child gets started. This allow the parent to
  report the correct status back to the rc init scripts.

Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red
Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED
state for these products.

However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the
cracks. If, in fact, these issues are not resolved in a current Fedora Core
Release (such as Fedora Core 5), please open a new issues stating so. Thanks.
