Description Lubos Trilety 2012-08-09 09:11:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
From time to time a condor init.d shell script prints something like this:
cat: /var/run/condor/condor_master.pid: No such file or directory

Probably the master.pid file is removed right after the test [ -f $1 ]; which leads to the error message.

This can be easily prevented by changing line 151 in /etc/init.d/condor file from
pid=`cat $1` &>/dev/null
to
pid=$(cat $1 2>/dev/null)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
condor-7.6.5-0.19

How reproducible:
30%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Restart condor continuously using init.d script
2. See error output
  
Actual results:
There's error output
cat: /var/run/condor/condor_master.pid: No such file or directory

Expected results:
No error output will be presented when condor stops correctly

Comment 3 Tomas Rusnak 2012-11-28 10:53:48 UTC 
Retested on RHEL5/6 - 32/64 with:

condor-7.8.7-0.5

Relevant part of /etc/init.d/condor script:
get_pid() {
    if [ -f $1 ]; then
        pid=$(cat $1 2>/dev/null)
        #pid=`cat $1` &>/dev/null
        if [ $? -ne 0 -o -z "$pid" ]; then
            return 2
        fi

        echo -n $pid
        return 0
    fi

    return 1
}
