neutron-server service "reload" action semantics are wrong

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • neutron-server service reload action restart the service
from: /etc/init.d/neutron-server

reload() {
    restart
}



force_reload() {
    restart
}


restart() {
    stop
    start
}


stop() {
    echo -n $"Stopping $prog: "
    killproc -p $pidfile $prog
    retval=$?
    echo
    [ $retval -eq 0 ] && rm -f $lockfile
    return $retval
}

  • While reloading the service, it will be stopped and then it will get started. If its not possible to dynamically reload all configuration files for neutron-* related services then the reload option should be removed to avoid confusion.
