From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Description of problem: The command killproc 'java -cp /home/ucsc/programs XferClient' (just as an example.) worked under redhat 7.2 and 7.3, but now it doesn't because the command contains whitespace in it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write a program that runs forever. i.e. an endless loop. Name the command something with whitespace in it. Java programs automatically fit this description, because the usual execution is 'java program-name' 2.Create init script that starts the program running as a daemon, then stop this program using 'killproc' 3. Run script Actual Results: killproc fails with an error message. Expected Results: Program should successfully die. Additional info: Program would start and stop normally under redhat 7.2 and 7.3. The new killproc function in redhat 9 (maybe 8 also?) doesn't like program names with whitespace in them, even if qouted. Workaround is to use the functions script from redhat 7.2 for these type of commands.
