[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#560735: gridengine-exec: PID file is not created by sge_execd due to lack of permission

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: gridengine-exec
Version: 6.2u4-1~lenny.nd1
Severity: important


Thanks for wrapping up a new version!

While testdriving it I've mentioned a problem that I could not stop sge_execd
using init.d script.

Reason is:

I guess, different from previous version, sge_execd creates PID
whenever it is already running as sgeadmin, hence

/tmp/111.9960:creat("/var/run/gridengine-execd.pid", 0644) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
/tmp/111.9960:open("/var/run/gridengine-execd.pid", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

Possible workaround which should have worked (and which I think is the
way to go in general for all gridengine's daemons):

export SGE_EXECD_PIDFILE=/var/run/gridengine/execd.pid

where /var/run/gridengine is owned by gridadmin

BUT patch debian/patches/040-pidfile-handling.diff does not take care about
SGE_EXECD_PIDFILE variable while creating pidfile. It just takes it into
account while removing it.
