      I've noticed what seems to be an odd behavior while I've been poking around Zimbra.

      [zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmconfigdctl restart 
Stopping zmconfigd...done.
Starting zmconfigd...failed.
[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmconfigdctl status 
zmconfigd is not running.
[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmconfigdctl status
zmconfigd is running.

      What happens is if I were to stop and start the service, the service initial fails to start, but then apparently starts itself about 3 seconds later. I've noticed there is no zmconfigd.log file to be found.

      As I discover more, I'll post. Have any of you Zimbra users experienced this behavior with zmconfigd?

        No I have not, What Zimbra version are you on? Usually when I want to restart the services I just use

        zmmcontrol start
zmmcontrol stop

          I see the version on your tag...

            I typically do the same. I tried the restart command to see if there would be any difference.

            Zimbra is
            Release 8.8.11_GA_3737.RHEL7_64_20181207111719 RHEL7_64 FOSS edition, Patch 8.8.11_P1

            What's strange is that the service is eventually starting.

                I also find this curious, since I've read there should be a zmconfigd.log file.

                [zimbra@zimbra log]$ pwd && ls zmcon*
/opt/zimbra/log
zmconfigd-audit.log  zmconfigd-log4j.log  zmconfigd.pid

                Perhaps that's another Network edition feature: having that particular log file.

                  Outside of the scope of this a bit, but where this behavior's a problem for me is related to what I'm experimenting with as a full backup scheme. Part of the process is stopping all zimbra services, doing a task, and restarting them. With zmconfigd failing with the restart, that adds another 30 seconds at least to the startup time.

                    This is new to me, I started seeing it about a week ago. I feel that it is something in the latest packages causing at issue.

                        I saw it as well once I restarted on my lab one. The production one does not have that issue.

                          Your production and lab using Ubuntu?

                              Hi!
                              Got the same problem with 8.8.12 installed on a Centos 7.
                              Moreover, according to zimbra.log, zmconfigd restarts once a minute for me.
                              Have you managed to resolve this issue?

                              Thanks in advance.

                                What is it causing on your Zimbra? mine are unaffected.

                                  For me, everything is working smooth, the only thing I worry about is restart notice messages that are written to zimbra.log every minute.

                                  Perhaps, such a behavior is OK (zmconfigd fetches configs,checks them for not being changed and assumes no restarts needed for services)?

                                    I think so. Nothing in there suggests a restart happened.
