[Bug 795673] [NEW] init.d restart operation can fail without proper notice if the memcached process takes a long time ( 1s) to shut down

2011-06-10 Thread trent strong
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: memcached

I have noticed that sometimes on a production memcached service the
restart command is not always reliable.  If the memcached process has
allocated a lot of memory, it sometimes take a little while to shut
down.

The init.d script seems to approach this by inserting a sleep 1 between the 
stop and start operations, but that's not always enough.
When the memcached service is started again it will fail to start with the 
error failed to listen on TCP port X: Address already in use since the 
dying process still owns the port.

Release: Ubuntu 10.10
