Hi All,

After upgrading to C170, the Addon 'cpufrequtils' shows as a stopped service on services.cgi page.
See forum post:
https://community.ipfire.org/t/cu-170-testing-list-of-services-is-not-complete-in-the-webgui-status-services/8413/24

Is cpufrequtils incorrectly labeled as a service in the corresponding /opt/pakfire/db/meta/meta-* file?

In the LFS file cpufrequtils is defined as a service.
There is also an initscript for cpufrequtils which would support it being a service.

Or do I have something broken (not running) on my system?
However cpufrequtils seems to be working okay -- showing the cpufreq info on the Status page, and responding as expected to cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set commands.

The problem on the services page comes from the fact that the initscript fort cpufrequtils only has one command - start. There is no stop command and most importantly no status command.

The services page checks the status command and if it is "is running" then it is shown as running and green and if it is "is not running" then it is shown as stopped and red. It looks like if the service has no status command then the status is defined to be stopped, even though in this case cpufrequtils is "running".

Either someone needs to create some form of status command for cpufrequtils, if that is feasible or cpufrequtils should not be listed as a service.

The latter seems to make more sense to me at the moment as a program that can only be started and nothing else doesn't sound like what we would normally consider a service.

I will search a bit about cpufrequtils to see if it really should be considered a service or not.

I would suggest raising this as a bug. Then any further discussion about if it is really a service or not can be done there and then appropriate action taken based on the resultant conclusion.

Regards,

Adolf.
