[rabbitmq-discuss] SuSE: 2.8.0 start script uses 'runuser'

Thu Mar 22 14:14:41 GMT 2012

Thanks for the fast response

Actually, removing the whole START_PROG works as workaround for us with the 2.8.0-1.suse.noarch.rpm

Thanks a lot
Cheers
Josh

Dear Josh,

Thanks for telling us about this -- this is rather embarrassing. In
attempting to get Linux server installations to start the rabbitmq-service
without blocking shutdown, we used runuser for certain systems. Our
mistake.

A workaround ought to be to replace runuser in the relevant script, as
below:

On line 29 (or thereabouts) in the rabbitmq-server script in init.d
there is a line like this:

START_PROG="runuser rabbitmq --session-command"

which you should replace with:

START_PROG="setsid"

This will cause the rabbitmq-server service to be started with 'su'. Be
aware that this might inhibit shutdown (since su creates a PAM session
for the user rabbitmq).

We'll update our SuSE rpm file, when we find a proper solution to this.
