Reposting here now that you are tracking. Third time is the charm I hope! Originally here: http://getsatisfaction.com/cloudera/topics/flume_init_d_scripts_are_not_lsb_compliant
Posted this over here: https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/FLUME-100 but they bounced me back to this forum.
From looking around I see there is another report on zookeeper's init.d scripts.
Cloudera should really make all init.d scripts LSB compliant. See link below from my original jira:
--------------------
Most start/stop scripts in linux also support 'status' to see if the process is running.
Can we add this to flume-master and flume-node init.d scripts?
Here are the specs: http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html
Note that proper return codes should be returned so calls can be scripted or used with something like ha-linux that depend on proper codes.
