service pmie should be completely independent of pmmgr-managed pmie. A bug probably somewhere in the rc.d pmie control scripts messes things up. 100% reproducible under 3.11.1 and git pcp. To reproduce: # yum install pmmgr # chkconfi gpmmgr on # service pmmgr start [wait a couple of seconds] # chkconfig pmie on # service pmie start # pcp [observe a copy of pmie run from service* and at least one under pmmgr] # service pmie stop [this may fail; pmie sometimes blocks signals, which is a separate bug] # pcp [observe all copies of pmie are no longer represented] # ps awux | grep pmie [observe pmmgr-managed pmie instances are still running] # ls -l /var/lib/pcp/tmp/pmie [observe empty]
This issue is not going to be addressed by PCP maintainers with limited resources, and is an unlikely combination in practice anyway (~noone uses pmmgr, and even fewer use both the pmmgr service and the pmie service simultaneously).
