Description of problem: I'd be a little frustrated if I were the customer in this case. [root@taft-01 ~]# service ccsd start Starting ccsd: [FAILED] From the console: Jan 24 09:27:15 taft-01 ccsd: startup failed Not a whole lot to go on. I then tried the ccsd cmd by myself and learned that I had a parsing error [root@taft-01 ~]# ccsd /etc/cluster/cluster.conf:3: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: cluster line 2 and cman </cman> ^ # it should have been "<cman/>"
Created attachment 124051 [details] fix for bz 178812 Changed to use 'action' command. Spits out any errors it encounters.
ccsd daemon should probably also be updated to give a textual error message. For example, I did not install "magma-plugins" which is required for ccsd to start but is not set as a dependency in RPM (there is another bugzilla that says it is by design). So, even a "ccsd -n" simply exits without any information except to return an error code. A simple message of "magma plugins not found" would help customers realize their mistake.
prompt> ccsd has always given textual error messages. However, it seems that prompt> ccsd -n has not been. Although, the exit code (2) gives a good indication of the problem - but users will not know what the exit code means...
fixed ccsd init script and ccsd daemon to print error messages. fix in CVS; RHEL4, HEAD and STABLE
