Bug Description

Hi,

eucalyptus-nc starts with inconsistent (and ugly ;-) pathnames:
# ps fauxw | grep eucaly
root 15886 0.0 0.0 7540 908 pts/13 S+ 12:23 0:00 | | \_ grep --color=auto eucaly
root 14791 0.0 0.0 107056 2380 ? Ss 11:59 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -f /etc/eucalyptus/httpd-cc.conf
121 14792 0.0 0.0 374328 5080 ? Sl 11:59 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/apache2 -f /etc/eucalyptus/httpd-cc.conf
root 15257 0.0 0.0 107056 2380 ? Ss 11:59 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -f //etc/eucalyptus/httpd-nc.conf
121 15267 0.0 0.0 177360 4772 ? Sl 11:59 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/apache2 -f //etc/eucalyptus/httpd-nc.conf

Note the "//" in the nc config file.

It seems that the init scripts were implemented differently; would be nice to be consistent and avoid "//" in pathnames.

Thanks,

Sorry, Loic.

There are deep fundamental problems with Eucalyptus that we're trying
to fix--packaging, installation, runtime.

Something cosmetic like this, we probably won't get around to.

You can reopen it, if you like, mark it confirmed and leave it
wishlist. I just doubt upstream (or us) is ever going to fix it.

I marked it triaged; I had a look at the init scripts and find them relatively ugly; I offered upstream to spend some time revamping them if they agree with the approach. I think the original issue I reported is one of the many symptoms of the overly complex init scripts, so even if it would be trivial to mask this symptom (e.g. by stripping / from EUCALYPTUS in the init script(s)), I think it's better to clean up the scripts massively.
