This document (000020304) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Manager 4.0
SUSE Manager 4.1

Situation

The status of the cobblerd.service shows the following failure:

# systemctl status cobblerd
● cobblerd.service - Cobbler Helper Daemon
  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cobblerd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Resolution

This is a cosmetic failure and can safely be ignored.

Cause

The touch command that is failing is used to restart a web application that could optionally be installed for cobblerd. This web application however is not used and therefore not installed on a SUSE Manager server.
