We have installed the latest snapshot torque-mom-2.3.7-snap.200906020815.1cri
and continue to see a bug in /etc/rc.d/init.d/pbs_mom:
# service pbs_mom reload
Re-reading TORQUE Mom config file: /etc/init.d/pbs_mom: line 85: kill: SIGHUP:
invalid signal specification
The kill command in the script probably uses the shell built-in kill.
Our OS is CentOS 5.3 with this version of the Bash shell: bash-3.2-24.el5
I believe that line 85:
kill -SIGHUP `pidof_pbs_mom`
should read
kill -HUP `pidof_pbs_mom`
in order to work correctly with the above version of bash. I don't
know if this will be compatible with other OSes...
I note that Bash's behavior is inconsistent with the bash man-page
which says that the SIG prefix may be used or may be omitted:
kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] [pid | jobspec] ...
kill -l [sigspec | exit_status]
Send the signal named by sigspec or signum to the processes
named by pid or jobspec. sigspec is either a case-insensitive
signal name such as SIGKILL (with or without the SIG prefix) or
a signal number;
Can the developers kindly take a look at fixing this in the upcoming release
of 2.3.7 ?
