I just had to explain why every user in the company was disconnected in the middle of the day because of this complete BS in your init script:
Handle how we were called.
case “$1” in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
restart
;;
condrestart)
condrestart
;;
** reload)**
** restart**
;;
status)
status
;;
*)
echo “Usage $0 {start|stop|restart|status|condrestart|reload}”
RETVAL=1
esac
RELOAD means that the config is re-read and the service is NOT STOPPED OR INTERRUPTED.
If your service does not provide a reload function DO NOT FAKE IT.
Sincerely,
One Pissed off Sysadmin.
