Description Alec Voropay 2000-02-21 13:58:40 UTC
After sysklogd upgrading I have error message on sysklogd stop :
====
[root@on ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog stop
Shutting down kernel logger: klogd
kill: (1191) - No such pid

Shutting down system logger: syslogd
[root@on ~]#
====

The small research shows /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions :
====
# TERM first, then KILL if not dead
kill -TERM $pid
usleep 100000
if ps h $pid >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
    sleep 3
    kill -KILL $pid
=====
The new "sysklogd-1.3.31-1.5" (from updates) dies VERY slow
on SIGTERM >100000 and second KILL can't find this PID.

Old "sysklogd-1.3-26" was OK.

In testing here, we cannot reproduce this. Sorry.
