[Bacula-users] 1.3 beta & init script

[Joseph F. <jfi...@pr...>]

I just compiled and installed 1.30 beta on RedHat 8.0, and everything
seemed to go well, but I ran into one small problem. I ran 'make
install-autostart' to install the init scripts. But, whenever I stop any
of the daemons, the deamon executable itself ends up getting deleted!

My installation is in /opt/bacula, so stopping bacula-dir using
'/etc/init.d/bacula-dir stop' deletes /opt/bacula/bin/bacula-dir. Then
when I try to start it again, I receive the following error: "Starting
the Bacula Director: execvp: No such file or directory". If I keep a
copy of the original /opt/bacula/bin/bacula-dir and copy it back in
there after stopping, then I can start it again with no problem.

I took a quick peek at the init script, and it is fact deleting it. I'm
not very familiar with how this is supposed to work, but it looks a
little strange to me. Here's the part I'm talking about:

stop)
   echo -n "Stopping the Director daemon: "
   killproc /opt/bacula/bin/bacula-dir
   RETVAL=$?
   echo
   [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /opt/bacula/bin/bacula-dir  # <---- Why is
this deleted?
   ;;

Is this right, or did I do something wrong during setup?
