Public bug reported: PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS" SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"; VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
Package: xinetd Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Version: 1:2.3.15-3ubuntu1 In the provided upstart configuration file /etc/init/xinetd.conf, there is the pre-stop script pre-stop script xinetd_pid=$(status | awk '/stop\/pre-stop/ { print $NF }') [ -n "${xinetd_pid}" ] || exit 0 kill -QUIT "${xinetd_pid}" end script The status command as written will always echo the message status: missing job name Try `status --help' for more information. which will go to stderr and so the variable xinetd_pid will always be blank. This is because the jobname parameter has been omitted from the status command and thus the xinetd process is never killed. Therefore the line should read xinetd_pid=$(status xinetd | awk '/stop\/pre-stop/ { print $NF }') However because xinetd is running in non-daemon mode, upstart knows the pid of the running xinetd so successfully kills it. Therefore the pre-stop script which is broken is not needed regardless and after removing the pre-stop script and testing with start, stop, status and checking with ps, the xinetd process is successfully stopped and started, demonstrating that this snippet should be removed because it is broken and pointless. ** Affects: xinetd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to xinetd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1474971 Title: missing parameter to status in upstart pre-stop script which is not needed regardless To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinetd/+bug/1474971/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
