mysql initscript review

[Scott M Ferguson]

Hey, I ran into an issue with the mysql initscript and have a
question... (it's also in the trac ticket,
https://fedorahosted.org/autoqa/ticket/168):

For the pid test mysql returns 3 'program is not running', not 1
'program is dead and /var/run pid file exists' during the test.
According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#Required_Actions
this is incorrect behavior. Do we need to change the script to suit
mysql's behavior or report the incorrect behavior via bugzilla? or
another path?

Thanks, if I'm way off please let me know.

Hello Scott,

Thank you for the heads up!

if mysql initscript returns incorrect value, then it's a bug of the 
initscript and you should definitely report it as a bug against mysql - 
since the tests sole purpose is to detect malicious behaviour in the 
software.

Thanks for your input, and please feel free to ask as many questions as 
you need.

Regards
