Bug 42714 – distcc-2.12.1 - distccd does not shut down properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Owen Gunden 2004-02-24 00:27:10 UTC]

Distcc rocks.  I'm using it to build a P75 box with my athlon XP machine :).

But I digress.  There's something wrong with the init scripts.  

    /etc/init.d/distccd stop

doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge distcc
2. /etc/init.d/distccd start
3. /etc/init.d/distccd stop
4. ps auxw | grep distcc

OR

1. emerge distcc
2. /etc/init.d/distccd start
3. /etc/init.d/distccd stop
4. /etc/init.d/distccd start
Actual Results:  
In the first case, I saw a bunch of distcc processes still hanging about.

In the second case, I got an error because distccd was already running.

Expected Results:  
/etc/init.d/distccd stop should have killed the distccd daemon.  In fact,
killing the daemon manually seems to work just dandy.  If you insert a "pkill
distccd" as step 3.5 in my second experiment above, it works just fine.

try:

   chown distcc:daemon /var/run/distccd
   killall distccd
   /etc/init.d/distccd zap
   /etc/init.d/distccd start

I suspect there's an issue with the path being touched by root after installation.

[Comment 2 Owen Gunden 2004-02-24 09:18:45 UTC]

That's the problem.  Maybe the ebuild needs a pkg_postinst() or something.

Thanks!

perhaps. i'll try and reproduce it here and test it.
