Description Enrico Scholz 2004-03-08 23:59:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

Last command in /etc/rc.d/rc is

| [ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && /usr/bin/rhgb-client --quit

Therefore, the return code signals everytime an error which is not
very nice and can cause malfunctions e.g. in vserver startup.

Since the 'rhgb-client --quit' command fails on non-started rhgb
server, I suggest to rewrite the statement above to

| [ ! -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client -o ! -S /initrd/rhgb-socket ] ||
/usr/bin/rhgb-client --quit


A more simple solution would be to append a 'true' to the script.
Since there is no other indication about success/failure in the
script, this would not change the oeverall behavior.



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

initscripts-7.46-1.1
Comment 1 Enrico Scholz 2004-03-09 01:08:25 UTC 
rc.sysinit is doing this already with

| # Let rhgb know that we're leaving rc.sysinit
| if [ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && /usr/bin/rhgb-client --ping ; then
|     /usr/bin/rhgb-client --sysinit
| fi

so it should be no problem to apply this to 'rc' too (replace
--sysinit with --quit)
