Thomas, AFACT, there is no upstart job for rabbitmq-server, and the dependencies in /etc/init.d/* don't really apply to the system anymore w.r.t. filesystems, because mountall does all mounts before rc-sysinit 2 is called. Further, the dependency on remote_fs is something that would always come *after* local_fs, so that isn't an issue either.
You should have something in /var/log/boot.log, /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_log, or /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err that indicates why it was not started. If its symlink is there as /etc/rc2.d /S20rabbitmq-server as it should be, then there's no real reason that I can think of for it not to start. As for stopping, it should be one of the first things shutdown: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 15 11:20 K20rabbitmq-server -> ../init.d/rabbitmq-server -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 353 Sep 7 2009 README lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Nov 17 10:46 S20sendsigs -> ../init.d/sendsigs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Nov 17 10:46 S30urandom -> ../init.d/urandom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Nov 17 10:46 S31umountnfs.sh -> ../init.d/umountnfs.sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Nov 17 10:46 S35networking -> ../init.d/networking lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Nov 17 10:46 S40umountfs -> ../init.d/umountfs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Nov 17 10:46 S60umountroot -> ../init.d/umountroot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Nov 17 10:46 S90halt -> ../init.d/halt Its possible that the stop method isn't effective, but the next thing, sendsigs, will be sending it kill -9, so it doesn't make sense why the machine wouldn't poweroff because of this. If somebody who is experiencing this can do an alt-f7 or ctrl-alt-f7 to see the console, that might provide some insight into what is going on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to rabbitmq-server in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670289 Title: Laptop won't shut down with rabbitmq running -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
