Description Ragnar Kjørstad 2008-02-07 17:37:12 UTC

Description of problem:

/etc/init.d/nfs start fails (exit with a non-zero exit code) if nfs is already
running.


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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a export entry in /etc/exports
2. Run /etc/init.d/nfs start
3. Run /etc/init.d/nfs start again
  
Actual results:
Starting NFS services:  [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas: [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon: [FAILED]

Exitcode 1


Expected results:

Exitcode 0

Additional info:

The LSB specification
(http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html)
states that start on an already started service should be considdered success,
and return exit code 0.

It appears this has already been fixed in Fedora. The initscript in
nfs-utils-1.1.0-6.fc8 adheres to LSB.
