Description Klavs Klavsen 2015-03-18 11:52:12 UTC

I currently have an issue on CentOS 7.. where nslcd simply stops working, and systemctl/systemd restart just hangs.. I have to manually kill it.

until I "hopefully" find a fix.. I'd like to detect this situation and restart the service.

Since systemd has this nice watchdog setup.. I'd like to use it, but appearently it currently requires me to modify nss-pam-ldapd (ie. nslcd's source).. 

I was hoping I could pursuade you to allow for a definition of an external check.. (in my case something like: getent passwd | wc -l - and check count larger than list in local passwd file)

So I don't have to write my own logic in a cronjob to fix it :)

This is a duplicate of #88192, which I cannot mark as duplicate as this one would then automatically be "resolved", which it isnt.

Well, but that's how bugzilla handles duplicates... 

I think "resolved" really shouldn't be considered "fixed", but simply as "this separate bug report is not needed anymore".

Hence closing as duplicate.
