RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Barnaby Court 2017-03-13 14:31:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

systemctl stop rhsmcertd leaves /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid behind. The pid file should be cleaned up when the process is stopped. This does not cause problems for restarting the process but it does look strange. 

+ ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Mar 10 16:46 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
+ cat /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
11493
+ systemctl stop rhsmcertd
+ sleep 5
+ ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Mar 10 16:46 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
+ cat /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
11493

Stopping that really ought to clean up the .pid file.
Comment 2 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-04-13 15:06:07 UTC 
Reproducer:

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# systemctl start rhsmcertd

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5 Apr 13 10:33 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# systemctl stop rhsmcertd
[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 home]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5 Apr 13 10:33 /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid


Verification:

Kevin,

Dont see any /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid file being created when you start rhsmcertd service, was that intentional?

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# systemctl start rhsmcertd
[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# sleep 120
[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# ls -l /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid
ls: cannot access /var/run/rhsm/cert.pid: No such file or directory
Comment 3 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-04-13 15:06:39 UTC 
Forgot add the version of RHSM 

[root@bkr-hv03-guest33 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.51.21-1
subscription management rules: 5.15.1
subscription-manager: 1.19.7-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.19.4-1.el7
Comment 4 Kevin Howell 2017-04-13 20:04:23 UTC 
Shwetha, the cert.pid file may be short lived as it is only acquired for a short time during a check-in/autoheal.
Comment 5 Shwetha Kallesh 2017-04-17 07:22:12 UTC 
Verified!!

[root@dhcp35-160 ~]# subscription-manager version

subscription management server: 2.1.0-1

subscription-manager: 1.19.7-1.el7
