Bug 185611 – mail-filter/policyd-weight init script stop should use -k

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul B. Henson 2007-07-16 23:31:12 UTC]

The current init script installed for policyd-weight runs "/usr/lib/postfix/policyd-weight stop" to shut down the server. However, that does not kill the cache process:

-----
# /etc/init.d/policyd-weight start
 * Starting policyd-weight ...                                                 $
[ ok ]

# ps -ef | grep policyd-weight
polw      9144     1  0 13:46 ?        00:00:00 policyd-weight (master)
polw      9145  9144  0 13:46 ?        00:00:00 policyd-weight (cache)

# /etc/init.d/policyd-weight stop
 * Stopping policyd-weight ...                                                 $
[ ok ]

# ps -ef | grep policyd-weight
polw      9145     1  0 13:46 ?        00:00:00 policyd-weight (cache)

The init script should use the -k option, which also cleans up the cache process:

-----
# /etc/init.d/policyd-weight start
 * Starting policyd-weight ...                                                 $
[ ok ]

# ps -ef | grep policyd-weight
polw      9239     1  0 13:47 ?        00:00:00 policyd-weight (master)
polw      9240  9239  0 13:47 ?        00:00:00 policyd-weight (cache)

# /usr/lib/postfix/policyd-weight stop -k
terminating

# ps -ef | grep policyd-weight
