Public bug reported: Hi, this is the relevant version information:
# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 dpkg -l haproxy|tail -1 ii haproxy 1.4.18-0ubuntu1 fast and reliable load balancing reverse proxy When I issue a stop to haproxy via the init script, on line 49 it tries to kill the process and returns 4 in case of failure, which then after iis the exit status of the script itself. There are many reasons why stopping a process may fail, one of them is that the process wasn't actually running. In that case, I think the exit status of stop should be 0, since the process is stopped. This caused problems in the following scenario: haproxy governed by pacemaker if the haproxy process stops abruptly for some reason (crash, oom-killer), pacemaker will try to stop and start it again, but it will fail to stop (exit 4, expected 0). To work around this, I added a check on the init script to see if the process was running, see patch attached. ** Affects: haproxy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1038139 Title: Missing running check on init script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haproxy/+bug/1038139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
