8.218. sysvinit
Updated sysvinit packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The sysvinit packages contain a group of processes that control basic functions of your system. SysVinit includes the init program, which is the first program started by the Linux kernel when the system boots. The init program then controls the starting up and shutting down of all other programs.
Bug Fix
- BZ#814132
- When the pidof utility was processing the /proc/*/stat file, the content of the file was read by the fgets() function. This function did not behave correctly when the new line character, "\n", was in the name of a process and also when the read file disappeared between the fopen and fgets function. Consequently, the "pidof: could not get program name from" message was emitted in these cases. To fix this problem, the program reads the whole file and silently skips all files with empty content. As a result, binary files containing the new line character with "\n" are now correctly recognized and disappearing files do not emit any warning messages.
Users of sysvinit are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
