Description

On a RHEL 6 system, the option to check that a service is started at boot fails and I can see this in the log

I guess the issue is that, in RHEL, chkconfig doesnt have a --check option

SYNOPSIS
        chkconfig [--list] [--type type][name]
        chkconfig --add name
        chkconfig --del name
        chkconfig --override name
        chkconfig [--level levels] [--type type] name <on|off|reset|reset-priorities>
        chkconfig [--level levels] [--type type] name

I should say that in RHEL,Centos, Oracle linux, Fedora - chkconfig doesnt have a --check option

Updated by Ade Bradshaw over 11 years ago

Looks like the same functionality is available in rhel/centos/oracle by just missing the --check out

From the man page for chkconfig on rhel6

When chkconfig is run with only a service name, it checks to see if the
service is configured to be started in the current runlevel. If it is,
chkconfig returns true; otherwise it returns false. The --level option
may be used to have chkconfig query an alternative runlevel rather than
the current one.

Hope that helps

This is blocking because it basically means that most techniques using service won't work on RedHat.

This part of the Technique (check service on boot) didn't work at all on RHEL/CentOS systems...

Attached is a new version 1.2 of the Technique that should fix all problems on CentOS (and makes the Technique a lot DRY-er :) ). Ade, could you test this?

To install it, follow these steps:
  1. On your Rudder server, cd /var/rudder/configuration-repository/techniques/systemSettings/process/servicesManagement
  2. tar xvzf servicesManagement-1.2.tgz (attached file)
  3. git add 1.2
  4. git commit -m "Adding version 1.2 of servicesManagement Technique to test"
  5. Go into the Rudder web UI, to the Administration > Policy Server" screen and click on the "Reload" button under "Reload Techniques"
  6. Find your Directive based on this Technique, and select "1.2" in the menu at the very top of the screen that says "Migrate Directive to Technique version:" then click Migrate

From then on, it should just work.

Hi

I unzipped the file provided (and did a chown so that the ownership matched that of 1.1 and 1.2) but even after I reloaded the techniques, I cant see 1.2 in the drop down menu of the Directive

That's weird. Can you confirm that:

  1. You did do the git add and git commit steps in my instructions above?
  2. The Directive in question is using the "service management" Technique, and not another one?

Updated by Ade Bradshaw over 11 years ago

Ok, just did a fresh install and followed the instructions again - except I added a chown into it as the new 1.2 directory was owned by uid 1000 when unzipped

Here is the entire output

Everything has been set up correctly.

Updated by Jonathan CLARKE over 11 years ago

Thanks for that info. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I hadn't seen your response... /me slaps forehead.

This does indeed look exactly like the procedure I described... I'm confused as to why this isn't appearing in the web interface.

Could you check the logs of the application for any errors after clicking on "Reload" in the Configuration Management > Techniques page? The log could be in /var/log/rudder/core/rudder-webapp.log or /var/log/rudder/webapp/2012_09_04.stderrout.log (change the filename to match the current day, obviously).

Last but not least, could you go to the Directives screen, and select the "Services management" directive, and check the contents of the "Versions available" box on the right?

Thanks!
