[LTP] Syslog testcases in LTP Test tool

[naveen p. <nav...@gm...>]

Hi,



            Please go through the following on LTP test suite. These are th=
e
things I found in recent LTP release. Here we are using SuSE Linux.



*Problem:*



=B7        During Syslog test case execution all the tests passed, but in t=
he
back ground "syslog-ng restart" process were still running.



*Analysis:*



    - Once I executed the syslog test case *(./syslog01),* I found a
      child processes "*syslog-ng restart*" running in the back
      ground. **

**

    - If we use the command "syslog-ng", it is creating background
      process. I tried the command "syslog-ng restart" in command prompt an=
d I
      find the background process using the command "ps -ef | grep syslog".



    - *root@rv-mariner50 :..syscalls/syslog> ps -ef | grep syslog

                  root     13667     1  0 01:44 ?         00:00:00
/sbin/syslog-ng

                  root      13751     1  0 01:45 ?        00:00:00 syslog-n=
g
restart

                  root      13760     1  0 01:45 ?        00:00:00 syslog-n=
g
restart

                  root      13797     1  0 01:46 ?        00:00:00 syslog-n=
g
restart

                  root      13808     1  0 01:46 ?        00:00:00 syslog-n=
g
restart

                  root      13815  6932  0 01:46 pts/0    00:00:00 grep
syslog **



=B7        */etc/init.d/syslog *is the file which starts the system logging
daemons. In SuSE Linux the daemon is syslog-ng.



*Expected Code changes:*



=B7        Replace *syslog_cmd=3D"syslog-ng"* to syslog_cmd=3D"/etc/init.d/=
syslog"
in all the syslog  test cases for syslog-ng.





*My view is this:*



#check to see if syslogd or syslog-ng exists

        if [ -e /sbin/syslogd  ]

        then

            CONFIG_FILE=3D"/etc/syslog.conf"

            syslog_cmd=3D"/etc/init.d/syslog"      (This is for checking
syslogd) ex: redhat, fedora

        elif [ -e /sbin/syslog-ng ]

        then

            CONFIG_FILE=3D"/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf"

- -         syslog_cmd=3D"syslog-ng"                (This is for checking
syslog-ng)  ex: Only SuSE

++        syslog_cmd=3D"/etc/init.d/syslog"

        else

            tst_resm TBROK "syslogd or syslog-ng  no such command"

            status_flag=3D1

            cleanup
        fi
