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 of problem:
using initctl emit to stop a server does work
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.6.5-10
How reproducible:
Use openssl s_server as a test service. Create a cert and key for the test service:
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -x509 -nodes -keyout server_key.pem -new -out server_cert.pem
Create /etc/init/bounce.conf and insert the following text
start on BounceOn
stop on BounceOff
stop on runlevel [0126]
console none
respawn
respawn limit 5 5
pre-stop exec echo "pre-stop"
pre-start exec echo "pre-start"
post-start exec echo "post-start"
exec openssl s_server -cert /root/server_cert.pem -key /root/server_key.pem
Run:
initctl emit BounceOn
Verify that openssl is running:
ps -ef | grep openssl
Try and stop the service:
initctl emit BounceOff
Verify whether the service stopped:
ps -ef | grep openssl
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual results:
service not stopped
Expected results:
service stopped
Additional info:
Joe Nall pointed me at this statement:
Only one event expression is permitted for each of start on and stop on,
repeating the stanza will override the previously defined expression
So I removed:
stop on runlevel [0126]
from the config file and tried to emit the BounceOff event but again the
service didn't stop. I then rebooted the box and retried the experiment and it
worked. My original test config file probably should have had:
stop on BounceOff or on runlevel [S0126]
This bug can be closed as it's not a bug but the man page should be altered to
clarify how event expressions work. Also it's not clear why I had to reboot to
affect the change when init monitors the config files.
