According to upstream discussion https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/406397 https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/530779 this is quite hard to fix and it will probably need to rewrite whole fork following mechanism. This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I would suggest then that this product should be reconsidered as 'experimental' and removed from RHEL until such time as the matter is resolved. Requiring a reboot on an enterprise server simply to clean up after a rather trivial scripting error is not going to impress a lot of people. This is known issue of upstart design and basically can't be fixed. Systemd in rhel7 solves this. |
