Description Trevor McKay 2012-02-13 19:15:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

There are a few places in the MCIG where paths are not explicit for programs in /sbin or /usr/sbin/.  In RHEL 5, those dirs won't be on the path of a regular user (and won't be on the path after an 'su' unless 'su --login' is used.


Additional info:

In some cases, we had explicit paths but removed them.  In others, we may never have had explicit paths.  In still other cases, programs moving to /usr/sbin from /usr/bin (BZ767232) necessitate a change.
Comment 1 Trevor McKay 2012-02-13 19:17:03 UTC 
Add needinfo on myself to remind me to track down the specific locations in the doc.
Comment 2 Trevor McKay 2012-02-27 19:49:09 UTC 
Here is a summary of the changes.  Essentially, "service" should be "/sbin/service" in all invocations.  Cumin-admin and cumin-database should be "/usr/sbin/cumin-***" in all invocations.


Invocations of the service command that should use "/sbin/service" rather than just "service":

section 4.1 Starting Services Manually, paragraphs 1 and 2 (multiple instances)

Appendix B.2, paragraph 5

Invocations of cumin-admin and cumin-database that should use "/usr/sbin/cumin-admin" and "/usr/sbin/cumin-database" respectively:

Section 2.2.2 The Cumin database
Section 3.1.6 Adding Users
Chapter 5 FAQ "So what if I want to create a fresh database" (multiple instances)
Comment 3 Cheryn Tan 2012-04-02 08:37:00 UTC 
Fixed in the sections listed in comment 2.
