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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0396 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE policycoreutils bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:51:18 UTC

Description Michal Trunecka 2012-11-15 12:24:00 UTC 
Init script allows using "reload" operation, but usage listing of the script doesn't mention it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.4-20121011.n.0
policycoreutils-newrole-2.0.83-19.26.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.26.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-gui-2.0.83-19.26.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-sandbox-2.0.83-19.26.el6.x86_64
policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.26.el6.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce: 
 * List operation of restorecond:
tail -n 22 /etc/init.d/restorecond | grep '[  ]*[|a-zA-Z-]*)' | cut -d ')' -f 1 | tr '|' '\n' | tr -d '  ' | grep -v '*' | sort
 * List operation listed in usage:
grep -i usage /etc/init.d/restorecond | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr -d '}"' | tr '|' '\n' | sort

Actual results: 
"reload" keyword is missing in usage

Expected results:
usage message is complete
Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2012-11-16 09:15:51 UTC 
"reload|force-reload" operations just do "restart". I am fixing usage.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-11-16 09:31:10 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product
Management has requested further review of this request by
Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products.
This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.
Comment 7 Michal Trunecka 2013-01-14 11:20:57 UTC 
But the options are still in the init script. Is it ok to have this undocumented feature there?

[root@dhcp-24-198 ~]# tail -n 22 /etc/init.d/restorecond | grep '[  ]*[|a-zA-Z-]*)' | cut -d ')' -f 1 | tr '|' '\n' | tr -d '  ' | grep -v '*' | sort
condrestart
force-reload
reload
restart
start
status
stop
[root@dhcp-24-198 ~]# grep -i usage /etc/init.d/restorecond | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr -d '}"' | tr '|' '\n' | sort
condrestart
restart
start
status
stop
Comment 9 Karel Srot 2013-01-16 09:48:37 UTC 
According to Fedora wiki:

The start, stop, restart, force-reload, and status actions shall be supported by all init scripts; the reload and the try-restart actions are optional. Other init-script actions may be defined by the init script. 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit/Initscripts#Init_Script_Actions


Therefore I don't think that removing the functionality from init script is correct.
Comment 10 Miroslav Grepl 2013-01-16 09:51:23 UTC 
Karel,
I am going to fix it because we need a new build related to another bug.
