[Pkg-freeipa-devel] Bug#910478: Please drop usage of SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT from init scripts

[Michael Biebl]

Source: dogtag-pki
Version: 10.6.6-2
Severity: important

The dogtag-pki packages uses SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT in various init
scripts:

- dogtag-pki_10.6.6-2/base/tps-client/etc/init.d/pki-tpsd
# Avoid using 'systemctl' for now
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1
export SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT

- dogtag-pki_10.6.6-2/debian/pki-server.pki-tomcatd.init

# Avoid using 'systemctl' for now
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1
export SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT


- dogtag-pki_10.6.6-2/debian/pki-server.pki-tomcatd.init

# Avoid using 'systemctl' for now
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1
export SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT


- dogtag-pki_10.6.6-2/base/tps-client/etc/init.d/pki-tpsd

# Avoid using 'systemctl' for now
SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=1
export SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT



This is an internal implementation detail of the systemd LSB hook and
should not be set in init scripts directly. The name of the variable is
not guaranteed to be stable as well.

Skipping the redirection can have undesired side effects.
If you boot with systemd, then restart the service via
/etc/init.d/$service restart, the process will no longer be
tracked properly.

Therefor please drop the usage of SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT from the init
scripts.

Regards,
Michael
