Description Zenon Panoussis 2007-08-04 20:16:12 UTC

Description of problem:

# service named stop
Stopping named_sdb:                                        [FAILED]
# ps -A |grep named
 2933 ?        00:00:00 named_sdb

# service named restart
Stopping named_sdb:                                        [FAILED]
Starting named_sdb: named_sdb: already running             [FAILED]

It's the init file's fault. When stopping, line 197 tries to 
kill rndc. If rndc is not running or for some other reason 
isn't killed, the exit code is != 0, so none of the code in 
lines 200-214 gets executed. 

If I comment out the if/fi statements in lines 199/215, I get 

# service named restart
Stopping named_sdb: .......................................[  OK  ]...
Starting named_sdb:                                        [  OK  ]

The dots after "Stopping named_sdb" are printed two seconds 
apart, so the shutdown takes more than a minute. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
9.3.3-9.0.1.el5

How reproducible:
Every time

Comment 1 Adam Tkac 2007-08-06 09:19:46 UTC

Patch is change line 199 to
if ! [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ]; then

But it's not standard way that rndc fails. Could you please call `rndc stop`
explicitly and attach output (why rndc fails). Also please attach log what
exactly is doing during stopping.

Thanks, Adam

Comment 2 Zenon Panoussis 2007-08-06 11:08:24 UTC

rndc failed to stop the server because I hadn't configured it. 
The log said:
general: rejected command channel message from 127.0.0.1#53464

If I leave rndc unconfigured and change line 199 as you suggest, 
the script stops the server with killproc and the delay. 

If I configure rndc, the script with your patch also stops the 
server, but now through rndc and without the delay. 

Thus, your patch seems to be the right solution either way, with 
or without rndc misconfiguration.

As of May 04, 2008, this bug seems to be present in Fedora 9 (rawhide) too.

Hm, are you sure this is same bug? This should be fixed in all supported Fedoras.
