Description Jan Ščotka 2009-09-14 14:33:32 UTC
Description of problem:
there are few problems with initscript of service:
based on document:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript

* /var/run/cyrus-imapd.pid doesn't exist

* insufficient rights, there should be returncode 4
# su testuserqa -c "service $SERVICE restart"; echo $?
now: 0 
expected: 4

* there arent implemented LSB compilant functions which are requred:
 usage


* nonexist function should have returncode 3:
# service $SERVICE noexistop; echo $?
now: 1
expected: 3

dovecot uses /var/run/dovecot/master.pid

this file is heavily referenced from documentation and even dovecot sources and plugins

-> I'm not going to change this.

your test used wrong pid file, if you use correct file /var/run/dovecot/master.pid , it will return 1 as expected

-> this works

-> fixed

> 2)

-> fixed

Okay, why not, but almost all service use exact path /var/run/nameofservice.pid
There is option to add second pid file used mainly for services. because then it will be predictable.

Yep, viz above.
It is not clear have pid file in other dir than other services do.

Thanks

There is needed more strict rules in LSB pseudo-standard. Now it is based on anyone interpretation.
