Description Michal Marciniszyn 2007-06-11 14:00:12 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #243699 +++

Description of problem:
The rhnsd init script returns incorrect error codes and also some constructions
in it prevent the correct status command call. For example:
[ -x /usr/sbin/rhnsd ] || exit 0
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid ] || exit 0

Also the script contains 
INTERVAL=240
which is IMHO configuration parameter that has nothing to do in the init script
and should be moved to conf file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

does not exist!

Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2009-10-07 10:37:35 UTC

INTERVAL is defined for some time in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
And if those files do not exist we return 6:
[ -x /usr/sbin/rhnsd ] || exit 6
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid ] || exit 6

Not sure when it was fixed, but in RHEL 5.4
