paul cannon commented on CASSANDRA-3477: ---------------------------------------- A return value of 2 from the initscript stop routine means that jsvc failed to stop the daemon. (So "the stop command seems to have completed successfully" is inaccurate; a nonzero return value is the correct way for an initscript to indicate failure. If you want to see messages about progress/success/failure from initscripts, you should set {{VERBOSE=yes}} in {{/etc/default/rcS}}.) At any rate, it looks like the bit to debug is jsvc. Can you try stopping the daemon with: {noformat} sudo /usr/bin/jsvc -stop -verbose -home /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/../ \ -pidfile /var/run/cassandra.pid org.apache.cassandra.thrift.CassandraDaemon {noformat} ..then see what exit code it gives, and see whether cassandra actually stops. > sudo /etc/init.d/cassandra stop and restart don't work on Debian 6 > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-3477 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3477 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Packaging > Reporter: Joaquin Casares > Assignee: paul cannon > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.0.3 > > > The restart command keeps failing and never passes. > The stop command seems to have completed successfully, but the processes is > still listed when I run 'ps auwx | grep cass'. > Using the Debian6 images on Rackspace. 2 nodes are definitely showing the > same behavior. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
