Bruno Mahé commented on BIGTOP-828:
-----------------------------------
I disagree.
Correct me if I am wrong, but return code 7 happens only "In case of an error
while processing any init-script action except for status, the init script
shall print an error message and exit with a non-zero status code" and the
"program is not running".
Note that in the paragraph above the one considered by this ticket, "running
stop on a service already stopped or not running" is one of the case where the
situation is to be considered as successful. Therefore, init scripts should
return 0 when stopping a service that's not running.

> There are several services (flume-agent and hue at the very least) that
> return 0 as return code when the service is being stopped when it's actually
> not running. It seems by reading
> http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
> that we should be returning error code 7.
> Please let me know if you agree or disagree. If this is indeed a bug, I can
> upload a patch for all the services that have this bug (there may be more
> services than just flume-agent and hue).
