Michael Shuler commented on CASSANDRA-8738: ------------------------------------------- What version are you using? Could you verify that the current init for 3.0 is not working for you, and if not, work this out with proper usage of start-stop-daemon? https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/debian/init > "/etc/init.d/cassandra stop" prints OK even when it doesn't work > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8738 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8738 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Donald Smith > > Sometimes I do {{/etc/init.d/cassandra stop}} and it prints out OK, but the > server is still running. (This happens, for example, if it's busy doing > GCs.) The current init script prints out OK after sleeping but without > checking if the process really stopped. I suggest changing it to: > {noformat} > pd0-cassandra16 ~> diff -C 1 cassandra cassandra-original > *** cassandra 2015-02-04 09:15:58.088209988 -0800 > --- cassandra-original 2015-02-04 09:15:40.293767501 -0800 > *************** > *** 69,77 **** > sleep 5 > ! THE_STATUS=`$0 status` > ! if [[ $THE_STATUS == *"stopped"* ]] > ! then > ! echo "OK" > ! else > ! echo "ERROR: could not stop the process: $THE_STATUS" > ! fi > ;; > --- 69,71 ---- > sleep 5 > ! echo "OK" > ;; > {noformat} > Then it prints out OK only if the stop succeeded. Otherwise it prints out a > message like > {quote} > ERROR: could not stop the process: cassandra (pid 10764) is running... > {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
