Add tests to verify that our init scripts conform to the LSB specification
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BIGTOP-524
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-524
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Tests
Affects Versions: 0.3.0, 0.4.0
Reporter: Bruno Mahé
I recently submitted BIGTOP-505 and BIGTOP-506, but we should proactively
verify all our init scripts follow the LSB specification.
This would avoid some issues where for instance third party tools get confused
by the return code of some action.
So we should add tests to ensure that init scripts follow
http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
Here are some cased to be checked (extract from the spec linked above):
{noformat}
For all other init-script actions, the init script shall return an exit status
of zero if the action was successful. Otherwise, the exit status shall be
non-zero, as defined below. In addition to straightforward success, the
following situations are also to be considered successful:
restarting a service (instead of reloading it) with the force-reload
argument
running start on a service already running
running stop on a service already stopped or not running
running restart on a service already stopped or not running
running try-restart on a service already stopped or not running
{noformat}
