Packages may do a "condrestart" (restarting them *only* if they are already running), but never start (or stop) a service. In fact, the system install itself is done in another root. So, IMHO packages should never *need* to check this, they just should work fine in a chroot environment or they should be fixed. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
