I'm getting loads of messages to root saying things along the lines of:
Hey, /var/run/motd.mythtv-status already exists
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 355 Jul 15 12:04 /var/run/motd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 355 Jul 15 12:05 /var/run/motd.mythtv-status
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 355 Jul 15 12:05 /var/run/motd.orig
root 14201 14045 0 16:02 pts/3 00:00:00 /bin/sh
/etc/init.d/mythtv-status reload
root 14209 14201 0 16:02 pts/3 00:00:00 grep mythtv-status
cat: /var/run/motd.new: No such file or directory
Is the intention for /etc/init.d/mythtv-status to bomb out when the
temp file already exists or to keep on going, but just to warn?
If the first, then the /etc/init.d/mythtv-status file should say in
the block on lines 66-71:
if [ -f $TEMPFILE ]; then
[...]
exit 1
fi
If it is not, then the cat /var/run/motd.new command should be
protected (line 70) by writing:
cat /var/run/motd.new 1>&2 || true
This way, the script will continue even if the file does not exist
(which will probably be the case).
(A separate bug: if it is giving a warning, it should probably use the
log_warning_msg function instead of echo.)
