Description of problem: initscripts return failure if service is already stopped Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.31.5-1 How reproducible: stop postgresql (for example). stop postgresql again. Steps to Reproduce: 1. service postgresql stop 2. service postgresql stop 3. watch in amazement ;) Actual results: Stopping postgresql service: [FAILED] Expected results: Stopping postgresql service: [ OK ] Additional info: according to the LSB spec at http://www.freestandards.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_2.0.1/LSB-Core/LSB-Core/iniscrptact.html "running "stop" on a service already stopped or not running" must return success
This isn't using the initscripts /etc/init.d/functions helpers - this would need to be fixed in postgres.
I temporarily "fixed" it by commenting out line 216, which reads script_result=1 I'll try to move it to postgres then, thanks :)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

It's certainly still acting the same, but I'm suspicious of the presumption that the behavior is wrong: the mysqld script acts the same and I haven't heard complaints about that. There's also an implementation problem that it's quite difficult to be sure that a failure is because the service wasn't running and not for some other reason. The link to the claimed LSB standard seems dead; can you provide a more up-to-date citation?
