Environment:	Centos 5. Issue in modprobe seems to have been fixed in Centos 6.	Attachments:
Description:	The dahd init script may use the commands 'modinfo dahdi' or 'modprobe dahdi'. Those commands will fail if the user is in a directory that has a subdirectory called 'dahdi'. My workaround is to try instead (cd /sys; modinfo dahdi) . But is /sys guaranteed to exist? I don't want to assume that the system will not have the directory /dahdi . Any better fix?

[root@echo ~]# cd /etc/ [root@echo etc]# ls dahdi/ assigned-spans.conf.sample  genconf_parameters  init.conf  modules  span-types.conf.sample  system.conf [root@echo etc]# modinfo dahdi modinfo: could not open dahdi: Is a directory [root@echo etc]# modinfo --version module-init-tools version 3.3-pre2 By: Russ Meyerriecks (rmeyerriecks) 2013-12-30 11:27:43.418-0600 modinfo manpage suggests that this is the expected behavior. By: Russ Meyerriecks (rmeyerriecks) 2013-12-30 11:31:56.210-0600 Works correctly in centos 6.2, modinfo chooses actual module first, instead of subdirectory. Tzafrir reported it working correctly in debian stable as well. By: Shaun Ruffell (sruffell) 2013-12-31 09:43:37.748-0600 What about just creating a temp directory in a subshell to be sure that there isn't a dahdi directory?  Something like: (TEMP_DIR=$(mktemp -d -t) && cd $TEMP_DIR && modinfo dahdi; rm -f -r $TEMP_DIR) By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2016-02-22 09:55:07.852-0600 Why does an init script run from /etc ? I have not encountered this with the standard init script. Closing this issue as a solution was proposed and there has been no progress since.
