Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sysvinit
Release: lucid Version: 2.87dsf-4ubuntu17 /etc/init.d/sendsigs reads the /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d directory for a list of files containing PIDs to omit when killing all processes during shutdown/reboot. Some init scripts (e.g., open-iscsi and wpa-ifupdown) attempt to use this directory to protect themselves from being killed. But on a stock Lucid system, nobody creates this directory. Consequently, there are problems. For example, any system using open- iscsi is unable to shut down or reboot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/+bug/541512 This is clearly a bug in the initscripts package. Since the "sendsigs" script is the only consumer of the /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d directory, it ought to be responsible for creating it; or at least, some other mechanism in the initscripts package should be responsible for doing so. ** Affects: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Nobody creates /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
