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 Boris Ranto 2010-07-20 12:42:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
autofs initscript does not implement functions force-reload and try-restart.
This bug was created on behalf of bug 578128.

The specification says:
force-reload cause the configuration to be reloaded if the service supports
this, otherwise restart the service

So force-reload should be implemented as restart.

Try-restart could be implemented e.g. like condrestart.

Otherwise there are undocumented options in script (and the options don't do
what they are supposed to).

Those two options should also be added to usage function.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.0.5-22

How reproducible:
100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. service autofs try-restart
2. service autofs force-reload

Actual results:
try-restart service action not supported and returns 3.
force-reload service action not supported and returns 3.

Expected results:
Options are implemented and return appropriate values.
Options are added to usage.

What are those appropriate values?
Right now these options return the same values as restart and
condrestart.

Can you test the package at:

let me know what else I need to do to satisfy the requirements
of this bug.
