Restart handlers are unreliable

[goetzk]

The service restarts are unreliable on amazon (and possibly others)

This is using ansible so may be an upstream bug.

Looks like this is specific to calling -arbiter, rather than restarting shinken itself. The bug is therefor going to be in the init script/s

 sudo /etc/init.d/shinken restart
Restarting scheduler
Restarting poller                                          [  OK  ]
Restarting reactionner                                     [  OK  ]
Restarting broker                                          [  OK  ]
Restarting receiver                                        [  OK  ]
Restarting arbiter                                         [  OK  ]
Doing config check
sudo /etc/init.d/shinken-arbiter restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/shinken: line 67: cd: /etc/rc.d/init.d/../../var: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/init.d/shinken: line 68: cd: /etc/rc.d/init.d/../../etc: No such file or directory
Restarting arbiter
Doing config check
                     [  OK  ]

also happens for broker.

sudo /etc/init.d/shinken-broker restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/shinken: line 67: cd: /etc/rc.d/init.d/../../var: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/init.d/shinken: line 68: cd: /etc/rc.d/init.d/../../etc: No such file or directory
Restarting broker
                         [  OK  ]

I've just opened shinken-solutions/shinken#1901 upstream about this.
