RE: Semi-success with Jensen Installation...

["Champigny, Michael" <Michael Champigny compaq com>]

Thanks for the info, but could you post your changes to daemon()? I assume
you made some changes to the function file other than the changes to
killproc().

Also, any clue why the stock RH kernel doesn't work on the Jensen? I'll have
to submit a bug report (which means by RH 8.0 it might be fixed along with
the clock bug).

Thanks!

1) The portmapper hanging seems to be a problem with many of the init.d
scripts as delivered by RH 6.0. They all use the function "daemon" (like
"daemon portmap" in the "portmap" script). This function is defined in
the script "functions". I also replaced the "killproc" function in this
file, since it also seems to hang, with the following:

killproc() {            # kill the named process(es)
        pid=`/bin/ps -e |
             /bin/grep -w $1 |
             /bin/sed -e 's/^  *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
        [ "$pid" != "" ] && kill $pid
}
