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.

Fixed In Version: systemtap-1.4-2.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the code for starting, stopping, and restarting systemtap was defined in systemtap's own initscript rather than using the globally defined behaviors on the system. Systemtap's own handling of the 'restart' action did not start systemtap if it was not already running. This updated package copies the $SCRIPTS global scripts as a basis for its initscript actions. The 'restart' action therefore has the same default behaviour as other initscripts on the system and additionally now honors the 'force-reload', 'reload', 'condrestart' and 'try-restart' actions.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0651 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE systemtap bug fix and enhancement update 2011-05-19 09:37:25 UTC

Description Petr Muller 2010-06-23 14:43:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

systemtap service from systemtap-initscript service does not beahve as required in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript (the guideline is from Fedora, but it valid for RHEL too)

===============================================================================
All SysV-style initscripts in Fedora must have implementations of the following actions:
(...)
    * restart: stop and restart the service if the service is already running, otherwise just start the service
(...)
===============================================================================


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemtap-1.2-3.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cp heart.stp /etc/systemtap/script.d/
2. service systemtap stop
3. service systemtap restart
  
Actual results:
# service systemtap restart
Starting systemtap:                                        [WARNING]
# service systemtap status
heart is stopped

Expected results:
# service systemtap restart
Starting systemtap:  Starting heart ... done
# service systemtap status
heart is running...

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
