Hello. I did the similar stuff and it works fine when starting\stopping service. But for restart it fails. Looks like it runs status check after stop and status check fails because pid file is already deleted: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stacks/HDP/2.5/services/CATALOGER/package/scripts/application.py", line 28, in <module> Master().execute() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/libraries/script/script.py", line 280, in execute method(env) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/libraries/script/script.py", line 709, in restart self.status(env) File "/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/stacks/HDP/2.5/services/CATALOGER/package/scripts/application.py", line 25, in status Execute ( format("cat {pid_file}") ); File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/base.py", line 155, in __init__ self.env.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/environment.py", line 160, in run self.run_action(resource, action) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/environment.py", line 124, in run_action provider_action() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/providers/system.py", line 273, in action_run tries=self.resource.tries, try_sleep=self.resource.try_sleep) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 71, in inner result = function(command, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 93, in checked_call tries=tries, try_sleep=try_sleep) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 141, in _call_wrapper result = _call(command, **kwargs_copy) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/resource_management/core/shell.py", line 294, in _call raise Fail(err_msg) resource_management.core.exceptions.Fail: Execution of 'cat /opt/app/application.pid' returned 1. cat: /opt/app/application.pid: No such file or directory ...
