Description of problem: Due to various bugs in ABRT one may need to stop it. But one would need to restart PC afterwards. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-2.0.6-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Tried once. Steps to Reproduce: systemctl disable abrtd.service systemctl stop abrtd.service cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern Actual results: |/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t e Expected results: core Additional info: (ulimit -c unlimited;sleep 1h&p=$!;sleep 1;kill -SEGV $p) -> abrt[20993]: Can't cd to '(null)' abrt[20993]: abrtd is not running. If it crashed, /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains a stale value, consider resetting it to 'core'
The command you're looking for is: $ service abrt-ccpp stop - but I agree the behaviour with disabled abrtd is not correct either
