From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When running 'service nfslock start', the init script does not do a check to see if there is already another process running. Each time this command is run, another process is spawned. When running 'service nfslock status', a new PID is listed every time a new service/process is spawned. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.service nfslock status 2.record pid 3.service nfslock start 4.service nfslock status 5.compare pid(s) 6.repeat Actual Results: You end up having multiple instances of the process running as you initiate the service start command. Expected Results: You should have a check run to see if there is a process running already. If there is a process already running, the service/process should not add another process. Additional info:
I have added a check to the service init script to check if it is already running. nfs-utils-1_0_1-2_8 has the fix.
Created attachment 88781 [details] A patch that stop multiple statds from starting - Added the dropping of a pid file to stop statd from starting when there is already a process running. - During startup, the parent now delays to ensure the child gets started. This allow the parent to report the correct status back to the rc init scripts.
