I am using Ubuntu 13.10

After an IPL, there are many run once services that hang, they are all in STOP/WAITING status.

Also, if I try to stop any normal service like apache2, mysql, vsftp I get the same results.

They are in upstart and I have used the commands :

stop apche2

service apache2 stop

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop

All three variations produce the same results, when I type in initctl list I get the service is stop/waiting and the process is still going strong. I see the process running and it works great for new connections.

I am running the stop commands from root.

There are no entries in any of the logs about the stop command or errors for each service.

How to fix this?

  • You mean that you type sudo stop apache2 and you can't return to the terminal to type the next command?

  • When I type sudo stop apache2 the apache2 service does not stop, I get a message stop/waiting. When I check the service with sudo status apache2 I see the same stop/waiting. The PID is still running and I can still use apache. This also occurs for all services like vsftpd, mysql... Basically I have a bunch of services that all states stop/waiting. If I run service --status-all, many services have a ? on them. No syslog entries or entries in the upstart logs.
