While not exactly a "show stopper," I find that a number of the init |
| 2 |
scripts (namely apache, bind, and maybe cyrus, IIRC) race too quickly |
| 3 |
during a 'restart.' |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
For instance, my nameservers (all gentoo) with more than ~12 zones take |
| 6 |
a second to stop listening on the interfaces and close the logs. Before |
| 7 |
they stop, init has already tried to start named again. You see the problem. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
This leads to failed starts which always makes me panic for a second |
| 10 |
before I realize it just ran too fast. Throwing a 'sleep' in there |
| 11 |
doesn't always seem like a good idea because the shutdown time is |
| 12 |
variable and putting a 'sleep 5' between start and stop makes things |
| 13 |
annoying. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Just food for thought, I suppose. Anyone else notice this? (FWIW, I've |
| 16 |
seen this on almost every other linux distro out there as well, but |
| 17 |
fixing it wouldn't keep me up at night.) |

TIA. |
