[Bug 459730] Re: rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole

[Florian Heigl]

Still exists.
Comment #4 is not true. There would be no bug reporti f it didn't complain, 
right?

for me this not completely breaks rsyslog right away, instead it seems
to stop logging some time after launch.

Since there is also a fix in this launchpad (see the part about
rsyslog.d/50-default.conf) it would be AWESOME if this quite critical
issue could be fixed? After 2 yeears?


** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: rsyslog
+ Still exists.
+ Comment #4 is not true. There would be no bug reporti f it didn't complain,

- Looks like this was missed in the move to upstart.

- This function was called in init.d/rsyslog start:
- 
- create_xconsole() {
- if [ ! -e /dev/xconsole ]
- then
- mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
- chown root:adm /dev/xconsole
- [ -x /sbin/restorecon ]  /sbin/restorecon /dev/xconsole
- fi
- }
- 
- I can't find any reference to it now. If this is old school then it
- should be removed from the config.

[Bug 792912] [NEW] rc.local needs small fix

[Florian Heigl]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upstart

Hi,

this is probably not directly an upstart issue but no way for me to tell
where this file belongs.

short description:
rc.local points out that it MUST exit with rc0 .Just that someone has set it to 
run using sh -e, so that it will break on any error. 
That means it doesn't work as the author intended.

You might be able to get what you want by a more complex script that
'traps' and handles the return codes, so that it will still break like
set -e once a command hit an error but instead of breaking immediately
jump to a function that does the exit 0.


(I don't see why the set -e is in place anyway, imho rc.local is used for site 
modifications of  the startup process, and as such, fully user controlled. 
Mostly it'll be in use because something else in the distro is not working... 
so it's not really nice to influence how it works per default. 
Did that come from debian? 
List of OS that do not mess with in rc.local: iirc ALL other versions of 
unix/linux/bsd. :)
