Description Billy DeVincentis 2009-05-25 23:49:37 UTC
/etc/init.d/vmware stop
* Stopping VMware services:
/etc/vmware/init.d/vmware: line 83: /sbin/lsmod: No such file or directory                                            [ ok ]
*   Virtual machine communication interface                                                                           [ ok ]
*   Virtual machine monitor                                                                                           [ ok ]
*   Blocking file system                                                                                              [ ok ]
/etc/vmware/init.d/vmware: line 90: /sbin/lsmod: No such file or directory


It would appear that lsmod has been moved to /bin/lsmod and lines 83 and 90 in /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware must be modified to read /bin/lsmod 

Reproducible: Always

Seems that this was because of the update in *module-init-tools-3.8 (24 May 2009)

no, in all versions it is in /bin.

Can't say for sure but I know that when I modified sbin to bin, it worked

fixed in the cvs.
Comment 5 Iain Buchanan 2009-05-29 11:09:11 UTC
Curious, what was fixed? vmware or module-init-tools?

I just synced and emerged and lsmod is still in /bin which also brakes bash-completion.

If it was always in /bin, was it symlinked in previous versions of module-init-tools?

thanks.

It appears to me that it was

/sbin/lsmod link to /bin/lsmod has disappeared.
/etc/vmware/init.d/vmware was using /sbin/lsmod.
Now it (/etc/vmware/init.d/vmware) is fixed and it's using /bin/lsmod.
