[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#702310: puppetmaster: puppet-master logrotate restart always fails

[root]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 2.6.2-5+squeeze6
Severity: important


Every Sunday morning when logrotate runs puppetmaster fails to restart.

Altering the logrotate script to call "bash -x /etc/init.d/puppetmaster restart" shows that the stop succeeds, but the start fails.

Checking the system logs shows that whilst the puppet-master process reports it's being asked to stop it's still logging activity 2 seconds afterwards which would mean that it's still active when the init script tries to start it again.

Viz:

Mar  3 05:20:26 puppet puppet-master[15182]: Caught TERM; calling stop
[...]
Mar  3 05:20:28 puppet puppet-master[15182]: Compiled catalog for www-test.vlsci.unimelb.edu.au in environment production in 6.37 seconds

I will attempt a work around of modifying the init script to sleep for 10 seconds between the stop and the start, rather than the current 1 second sleep.
