Customer reported the following, possible initscript bug:


RHEL 6 x86_64 servers were patched. The initscripts package was updated to initscripts-9.03.49-1.el6_7.3.x86_64.  Following this update, an in house application failed to start and the ability to SSH to the server was lost. 

Investigation showed a bug in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-eth file similar to what was reported under https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10095.

Editing line 110 of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-eth from:

"if [ "${REALDEVICE}" = "${DEVICE}" ]; then" 

to 

"if [ "${REALDEVICE}" != "${DEVICE}" ]; then" 

and restarting the network service restored SSH access and the in house application was able to start normally.

Is this a reported bug for RHEL and package initscripts-9.03.49-1.el6_7.3?

The problem occurs after the initscripts package is updated to version initscripts-9.03.49-1.el6_7.3.
