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 Joseph Mann 2010-08-16 13:45:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
Running "service autofs restart" outputs the following:
# service autofs restart
Starting automount: automount: program is already running.
                                                           [  OK  ]

The autofs daemon is not restarted


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.32-59.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Execute 

Additional info:
This is because the autofs script is not properly calling the status command. This patch would fix the issue

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-08-16 14:18:30 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in 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. **
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-08-18 21:28:29 UTC 
Thank you for your bug report. This issue was evaluated for inclusion
in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, we
are unable to address this request in the current release. Because we
are in the final stage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 development, only
significant, release-blocking issues involving serious regressions and
data corruption can be considered.

If you believe this issue meets the release blocking criteria as
defined and communicated to you by your Red Hat Support representative,
please ask your representative to file this issue as a blocker for the
current release. Otherwise, ask that it be evaluated for inclusion in
the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

------- Comment From sachinp.com 2011-02-22 08:03 EDT-------
This problem has been fixed with RHEL 6.1 early build

# service autofs status
automount (pid  1291) is running...

# service autofs restart
Stopping automount: [  OK  ]
Starting automount: [  OK  ]

# rpm -qa | grep autofs
autofs-5.0.5-29.el6.s390x

The corresponding code has been changed.

# cat /etc/init.d/autofs
.......
function restart() {
status autofs > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
stop
fi
start
}
......

# uname -r
2.6.32-114.0.1.el6.s390x
# # cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 Beta (Santiago)
Kernel \r on an \m

So the bug can be closed.
