Description of problem: The /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions scripts shipped in RHEL7 are missing some of the features of the RHEL6 counterpart, making backward compatiblity fail. __pids_var_run() killproc() status() are all missing the option -b binary Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-9.49.37-1.el7.x86_64
Hello Martin, first of all - __pids_var_run() in RHEL6 does not have '-b' option AFAIK, because it does not need it. It's an internal function of initscripts, and calling it directly is *NOT SUPPORTED* by initscripts (and thus by Red Hat). Nevertheless, I will look into the option to to do a forward backport of patch from RHEL-6 to RHEL-7.
