Description

The Startup script provided in conf/suse/client.init does not work with puppetd.

The SuSE init system attempts to be clever, but winds up failing because the hashbang line of puppetd is:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

Which, IMHO, is the correct way to do things. However, the SuSE command “startproc” looks at the hashbang line for the executable and finds /usr/bin/env, so it winds up looking for /usr/bin/env in the /proc/*/ filesystem and obviously won’t find it. Causing the start up script to start the process, but then report failure because the process isn’t called /usr/bin/env.

  • Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs More Information

The SuSe (and other) start-up scripts are community maintained and provided. Happy to take a patch for it but we don’t generally otherwise fix them.

Updated by Andrew Forgue over 2 years ago

No problem I’ll rewrite it so it doesn’t use the startproc/killproc/checkproc programs.

#3
Updated by Andrew Forgue over 2 years ago

This was actually fixed a long time ago by Martin Vuk, with a patch to change #!/usr/bin/env ruby to #!/usr/bin/ruby I couldn’t find the patches anywhere (google or in the archive), so I recreated them and updated the SuSE spec file for 0.25.1.
