rcsubdomain stop doesn't always stop sd-event-dispatch or tail -F
Last modified: 2007-01-30 21:25:37 UTC
Marcus Rueckert reports that rcsubdomain stop doesn't always stop sd-event-dispatch or the tail -F process that sd-event-dispatch uses for listening. He strongly suggests using Perl's File::Tail module to replace our execution of tail -- it is likely to make killing the sd-event-dispatch more reliable.
Jesse is this something that has already been adressed?
i submitted a patch to your mailinglist for this.
Two approaches: (1) convert to using File::Tail (patch submitted by mrueckert, waiting on kukuk's opinion on including the File::Tail module in the 'default install' as well as additional testing) (2) sbeattie's already included patch to the initscript to pass -G to killproc.
steve's initscript fix worked reliably in testing and has already been pushed to autobuild for beta4. we're still hoping to get marcus' patch included as well to clean things up further, but that depends on getting the perl-File-Tail package included in CODE10. however, i just noticed that this bug is filed against 10.0, not a 10.1 beta.... do we have a defined set of fixes we want to get batched up to go out as a 10.0 update?
thorsten said he has no problem with the patch and pulling in the package. :)
this has been fixed in code10 for several betas. do we want to do a maintanence release for 10.0?
I don't believe we'll be issuing a fix for this on 10.0; it's been addressed in 10.1 and SLE10. Closing bug.
