RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Radek Bíba 2010-01-04 13:28:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
SSIA

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
microcode_ctl-1.17-1.42.1.el6

How reproducible:
Always, apparently.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. watch boot messages, or run service microcode_ctl start
  
Actual results:
/etc/init.d/microcode_ctl: line 52: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/etc/init.d/microcode_ctl: line 52: `}'

And cpu microcode isn't applied (!)

Expected results:
Quiet success :)

Additional info:
The cause of the error is this:
stop()
{
}

Please remember that functions in BASH can't have an empty body. If there's no command to run for this function in this init script, it should at least execute something like `true', or it shouldn't be defined at all and the 'case' branch for 'stop' should just run `exit 0'.
