Description abhikumar163 2013-10-28 16:00:00 UTC 
Current "/etc/rc.d/routing" script is as such it returns non-zero exitcode on restart in very common cases.

There are 2 issues in total...

Issue#1. It unsets a var and only in case any additional routing options of the provided communication channel (inet, inet6, atm, ipx) is to be turned on, it gets set. It fails for us as we don't have any extra routing options. For now I've patched it not to fail in case of no additional routing options.
Do check if any additional routing option is required or not.

Issue#2. There is also error in default case of routing start, where it tries to setroute for all (inet, inet6, atm, ipx) modes. Before that it checks if it's present or not and fails for atm and ipx not being present.

Since script is resilient enough, the required configuration gets applied. But the exitcode is erroneous which fails our configuration management tools by making them think the run failed itself.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Shall happend for any install. But to be sure install it on a Virtualbox or any virtualization platform (have myself tried it on Xen and VirtualBox).

Perform
`/etc/rc.d/routing restart ; echo $?`

This will show a non-zero exitcode for routing service restart action.

I've received bug reports for wifimgr(8) when it resets interfaces
using "/etc/rc.d/netif restart ifname" which calls /etc/rc.d/routing
which is returning an incorrect value of 1.

The patch proposed here does indeed fix things.

Yes, you can submit a new patch, using the 'add an attachment' link in bugzilla, and mark the old patch obsolete.
Comment 7 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-21 11:50:44 UTC 
Btw, ipx was removed, so that's basically the cause of the patch to fail.
Comment 8 Eitan Adler freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-05-28 19:47:55 UTC
