Bad initscript on CentOS 6

I've installed gitlab-ci-multi-runner-0.5.0-1 on a CentOS 6 machine. When I try to start the service, I get:

# /etc/init.d/gitlab-runner start
Starting GitLab Runner: /etc/init.d/gitlab-runner: Usage: daemon [+/-nicelevel] {program}

It seems like the bug comes from the following initscript, where user is empty but nonetheless specified as a command-line argument for daemon:

# cat /etc/init.d/gitlab-runner 
#!/bin/sh
# For RedHat and cousins:
# chkconfig: - 99 01
# description: GitLab Runner
# processname: /usr/bin/gitlab-ci-multi-runner
 
# Source function library.

start() {
    echo -n $"Starting $desc: "
    daemon --user=$user bash --login -c "'exec $cmd $args 1>&3 2>&3 &'" 3>> $log_file
    retval=$?
    [ $retval -eq 0 ] && touch $lockfile
    echo
    return $retval
}
 
stop() {
    echo -n $"Stopping $desc: "
    killproc $cmd -TERM
    retval=$?
    [ $retval -eq 0 ] && rm -f $lockfile
    echo
    return $retval
}
 
restart() {
    stop
    start
}
 
reload() {
    echo -n $"Reloading $desc: "
    killproc $cmd -HUP
    RETVAL=$?
    echo
}
 
force_reload() {
    restart
}
 
rh_status() {
    status $cmd
}
 
rh_status_q() {
    rh_status >/dev/null 2>&1
}
 
case "$1" in
    start)
        rh_status_q && exit 0
        $1
        ;;
    stop)
        rh_status_q || exit 0
        $1

            ;;

        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|condrestart|try-restart|reload|force-reload}"
        exit 2

Is it CentOS 6.5?

Same issue,

sed 's/user=""$/user="gitlab-runner"/' /etc/init.d/gitlab-runner > /tmp/gitlab-runner mv -f /tmp/gitlab-runner /etc/init.d/gitlab-runner chmod 755 /etc/init.d/gitlab-runner

solves this but still every command run on this server will print out:

gitlab-ci-multi-runner 0.5.1-2-g43a66ff-beta (43a66ff)
Using Shell executor...
standard in must be a tty

Os: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

The user shouldn't be specified. This is bug and it will be fixed in 0.5.2.

@ayufan Thanks, removing --user from init script makes it working again

Milestone changed to v0.5.0

For me, it's Centos 6.6.

Status changed to closed
