Public bug reported:
Because "set +e" is set in the "status" case of the postgresql init
script, running "service postgresql status" or "/etc/init.d/postgresql
status" always returns with exit code 0. Even when no clusters are
running the exit code is 0, when it should really be 3, indicating that
the service is not running (as per LSB specs). This has negative
implications for Pacemaker, Puppet and other applications that expect
init scripts to conform to LSB specifications.
Attached is a simple patch that removes "set +e" and makes the init
script behave properly.
** Affects: postgresql-9.1 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Patch added: "Remove "set +e" from init script so the "status" operation
exits with the proper return codes of 0 when the service is running and 3 when
it is not"
