[rabbitmq-discuss] Ubuntu 11.10 does not shutdown

Mon Feb 6 10:41:54 GMT 2012

Hi,

The problem is simple: consolekit thinks rabbitmq is a real user using the
computer. Then the login manager (lightdm) does not allow the user to shut
down the computer.

I've fixed this on my computers by changing /usr/sbin/rabbitmq-server to
start rabbitmq with start-stop-daemon instead of su:

.. snip
if [ `id -u` = `id -u rabbitmq` -o "$SCRIPT" = "rabbitmq-plugins" ] ; then
    /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/${SCRIPT} "$@"
elif [ `id -u` = 0 ] ; then
    # don't use su, use start-stop-daemon instead
    #su rabbitmq -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/${SCRIPT} ${CMDLINE}"
    start-stop-daemon \
        --chuid rabbitmq \
        --start \
        --pidfile $RABBITMQ_PID_FILE \
        --exec /bin/sh \
        -- /usr/lib/rabbitmq/bin/${SCRIPT} ${CMDLINE}
else
.. snap

I'm however not 100% sure this fix is globally acceptable. Any thoughts
Simon?
