Description Michael Kearey 2003-07-28 04:00:50 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612

Description of problem:
I have found a tiny little problem in an init script for the new 'messagebus'
service.

Even though the daemon called dbus-daemon-1 which is started by the init script
/etc/init.d/messagebus is running, the command 'service messagebus status'
returns 'messagebus dead but pid file exists'.

This is due to a small error in the /etc/init.d/messagebus init script. 
status)
	status messagebus
	RETVAL=$?
	;;

There is no such process as 'messagebus' the process is dbus-daemon-1.
I added line: 

processname=dbus-daemon-1

And changed to :

status)
	status $processname
	RETVAL=$?
	;;
It now reports that the process is running, as it should.

I will add an attatchment of the complete script..

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dbus-0.11.91-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.su to root
2.Start messagebus service 'service messagebus start'
3.Run command 'service messagebus status'
    

Actual Results:  'messagebus dead but pid file exists'.


Expected Results:  dbus-daemon-1 (pid XXXX) is running

Applied to CVS, needs to be built in RPM form. Thanks.
