The rgmanager keeps stopping and restarting mysql/named/ypserv/httpd/other script. Why?
According to the LSB specification, all init scripts are always supposed to return 0 if everything is running correctly. They should only return a non-zero return code if the service is not running, even if the service was stopped “cleanly.” Unfortunately, many of the stock Red Hat init scripts wrongly don’t adhere to this rule at various releases, and that causes these kinds of rgmanager symptoms. A lot of people just edit the init scripts by hand, but there are various patches available. For example, here’s a patch to fix httpd in RHEL4: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=111998 For more information, see this bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?
