Comment 4 for bug 1433142

I have tested nova-api master too (as well as neutron) the following way:

1. Added logging to nova.service.reset method:

ash@ubuntu:/opt/stack/nova$ git diff
diff --git a/nova/service.py b/nova/service.py
index 3ae307c..5f4e952 100644
--- a/nova/service.py
+++ b/nova/service.py
@@ -366,6 +366,7 @@ class WSGIService(object):
         :returns: None

         """
+ LOG.exception("Calling reset!")
         self.server.reset()

     def _get_manager(self):

2. Changed logging format in nova.conf to show pids

3. Started nova-api in daemon mode with the default number of workers (metadata_workers = 2, ec2_workers = 2, osapi_compute_workers = 2)

4. Verified that all processes are running:

ash@ubuntu:~/devstack$ ps -ef | grep nova-api
ash 11999 9714 0 13:00 pts/10 00:00:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/nova-api
ash 12008 11999 0 13:00 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/nova-api

ash 12011 11999 0 13:00 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/nova-api
ash 12018 11999 0 13:00 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/nova-api
ash 12019 11999 0 13:00 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/nova-api
ash 12245 8600 0 13:10 pts/32 00:00:00 grep --color=auto nova-api

5. Sent SIGHUP to the parent process:

ash@ubuntu:~/devstack$ kill -HUP 11999

6. Checked nova-api's logs: http://paste.openstack.org/show/195347/

Please note, that the parent process (pid = 11999) didn't call reset().

The situation is the same for all services that use ProcessLauncher including neutron. Please, correct me, if there is something I'm missing.
