rwhod fails to start from systemd
Last modified: 2012-04-24 10:49:26 EDT
Description of problem: "systemctl start rwhod.service" fails Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rwho-0.17-36.fc16.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.systemctl start rwhod.service 2.systemctl status rwhod.service 3. Actual results: rwhod.service - Remote Machine Logged In User Lister Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/rwhod.service; enabled) Active: failed since Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:29:47 +0930; 10s ago Process: 13653 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rwhod (code=exited, Status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/rwhod.service Expected results: rwhod should start Additional info: This seems to be due to the PIDFile=/var/run/rwhod.pid line in /lib/systemd/system/rwhod.service. The rwhod evidently doesn't write to a PIDFile (or at least not the one specified). If the PIDFile specification is deleted, systemctl seems to be able to guess the pid OK and everythign is good. Alternatively, rwhod could be modified to write its pid to a file.
This is already solved by the following update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3344/rwho-0.17-39.fc16 Please, update the package to the current build rwho-0.17-39.fc16 using the link above. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 804880 ***
