Bug #52476 [Opn]: php-fpm is installed in /usr/sbin

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52476&edit=1 ID: 52476 Updated by: fat@php.net Reported by: geissert@php.net Summary: php-fpm is installed in /usr/sbin Status: Open Type: Bug Package: FPM related Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: 5.3.3 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: fat Block user comment: N New Comment: php-fpm binary is a daemon not a standard command. As man hier described /usr/bin and /usr/sbin directory, php-fpm place is under /usr/sbin. /usr/bin This is the primary directory for executable programs. Most programs executed by normal users which are not needed for booting or for repairing the system and which are not installed locally should be placed in this directory. /usr/sbin This directory contains program binaries for system administration which are not essential for the boot process, for mounting /usr, or for system repair. Saying that, you're right that the man file is not at the right place. It should be placed in section 8 and not in section 1. As man(7) says: 1 Commands Those commands that can be executed by the user from within a shell. 8 System management commands Commands like mount(8), many of which only root can execute. I'll move the man page from section 1 to section 8.

I don't see any reason (other than multi-user support and the like) that makes it fit better in sbin instead of just bin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52476&edit=1
