Description Dan Pritts 2013-08-22 00:28:44 UTC
Description of problem:

the numad package includes /etc/numad.conf, but no documentation on same.


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

numad-0.5-8.20121015git.el6.x86_64

Obviously, there are other issues with this program, it seems like it was quickly & dirtily released.  

I see another bug showing that a logrotate config file will be added; it would be nice if there were a documented/standard way to have it re-open its log file (e.g., with a HUP).

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 02:37:06 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Jan Synacek 2014-04-16 06:41:54 UTC
It is currently possible to set only one variable in /etc/numad.conf and it's documented in the numad manpage.

If you have any other issues with numad, please, file them as separate bugzillas.

Hi Jan -

thanks for taking the time to respond.

I do not see any mention of numad.conf in the man page for numad.

[root@staging ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)
[root@staging ~]# rpm -q numad
numad-0.5-9.20130814git.el6.x86_64
[root@staging ~]# man numad | grep -i conf
[root@staging ~]# zgrep -i numad.conf /usr/share/man/man8/numad.8.gz
[root@staging ~]#



FILES
       /usr/bin/numad
       /var/log/numad.log
       /var/run/numad.pid


thanks!

sorry for slow response, i don't look at the relevant email account very often.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Production 3 Phase. During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:

http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle

This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Production 3 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Note that a strong business justification will be required for re-evaluation. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL:
