Description Ales Zelinka 2009-09-03 15:37:47 UTC
Description of problem:
According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/Initscripts "service XYZ status" should return 2 when program is dead and /var/lock lock file exists.

Samba services ruturn 3 (which indicate stopped program with lock/pid cleaned up)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-3.4.0-0.43.fc12.1.x86_64
samba-winbind-3.4.0-0.43.fc12.1.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.service smb start
2.killall smbd
3.service smb status ; echo $?
  
Actual results:
smbd is stopped
3


Expected results:
smbd dead but subsys locked
2

Additional info:
The correct exit code + error messages should be returned by "status" function from /etc/init.d/functions. But it is not used, probably because of the inconsistency between process names (smbd) and service name (smb) that the "status" function can't handle.

Comment 1 Ales Zelinka 2009-10-26 09:40:45 UTC
Correction -  this is the right initscript guideline page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript. The bug is there according to this page too (and in the other samba's services initscripts too).
