On some systems init scripts are installed along with upstart . This may cause trouble if user tries to restart/stop a instance of libvirtd managed with upstart with init script. This patch adds check for a started libvirtd managed by upstart and fails the init script. [root@localhost ~]# initctl status libvirtd libvirtd start/running, process 3001 [root@localhost ~]# service libvirtd restart Stopping libvirtd daemon: error: libvirtd is managed by upstart and started, use initctl instead If libvirtd is not managed by upstart or is stopped, init script works normaly and allows the user to manage the service. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728153 --- daemon/libvirtd.init.in | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/libvirtd.init.in b/daemon/libvirtd.init.in index 0697a2b..823fa77 100644 --- a/daemon/libvirtd.init.in +++ b/daemon/libvirtd.init.in @@ -43,6 +43,8 @@ LIBVIRTD_CONFIG= LIBVIRTD_ARGS= KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab +INITCTL_PATH=/sbin/initctl + test -f @sysconfdir@/sysconfig/libvirtd && . @sysconfdir@/sysconfig/libvirtd export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV @@ -56,8 +58,22 @@ fi RETVAL=0 +# Check if libvirt is managed by upstart and fail if it's the case +initctl_check() { + if [ -x $INITCTL_PATH ]; then + #extract status from upstart + LIBVIRTD_UPSTART_STATUS=`$INITCTL_PATH status libvirtd | tr "/" " " | cut -d " " -f 2` + if [ $LIBVIRTD_UPSTART_STATUS = "start" ]; then + echo "error: libvirtd is managed by upstart and started, use initctl instead" + exit 1 + fi + fi +} + start() { echo -n $"Starting $SERVICE daemon: " + initctl_check + mkdir -p @localstatedir@/cache/libvirt rm -rf @localstatedir@/cache/libvirt/* KRB5_KTNAME=$KRB5_KTNAME daemon --pidfile $PIDFILE --check $SERVICE $PROCESS --daemon $LIBVIRTD_CONFIG_ARGS $LIBVIRTD_ARGS @@ -68,6 +84,7 @@ start() { stop() { echo -n $"Stopping $SERVICE daemon: " + initctl_check killproc -p $PIDFILE $PROCESS RETVAL=$? @@ -88,6 +105,7 @@ restart() { reload() { echo -n $"Reloading $SERVICE configuration: " + initctl_check killproc -p $PIDFILE $PROCESS -HUP RETVAL=$? -- 1.7.3.4
