Description of problem: The postgresql service script uses pidof to determine if postgresql has started properly. However it is looking for /usr/bin/postmaster which is a symlink to /usr/bin/postgresql and so it doesn't find the processes and reports fairly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postgresql-server-7.4.6-2 SysVinit-2.85-35 How reproducible: Consistently Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run /etc/init.d/postgresql restart Actual results: reports FAILED Expected results: reports OK Additional info:
This is a pidof bug --- that particular release of SysVinit is broken. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 141811 ***
The new SysVinit doesn't seem to be released for Fedora: The development RPMs branch shows SysVinit-2.85-35.i386.rpm: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/ I tried to say that on the RHEL bug this was marked as a duplicate of but was told I'm not allowed :-) Should I file another bug about that or should it be released automatically (and when :-))?
I don't know what notting's plans are for fixing the problem in devel tip. In the meantime I'd suggest forcibly downgrading to the latest released FC3 version, SysVinit-2.85-34. Or you could just ignore the bleating from the init script for now ;-)
Yeah, need to build a new devel version at some point.
