salt-minion dead but pid file exists 正确解决方法

说明：

看了网上很多关于alt-minion dead but pid file exists 的解决方法，千篇一律的写一个shell脚本 killproc salt-minion

但是并没有什么用，我如何解决这个问题的呢，请容我慢慢道来。

系统版本：CentOS_6.7_64bit 环境已优化。

重装（第一次装）salt-minion，但是客户端却无法正常启动，如下报错：

[root@namenode ~]# /etc/init.d/salt-minion status

salt-minion dead but pid file exists

解决过程：

由报错知：

minion进程已经死，但是进程文件还在

于是去找进程文件，在minion机的配置文件里/etc/init.d/salt-minion里发现进程文件是：

/var/run/salt-minion.pid

然后尝试把进程文件删掉，再重新启动：

[root@namenode ~]# /etc/init.d/salt-minion restart

Stopping salt-minion daemon: [FAILED]

Starting salt-minion daemon: [ OK ]

[root@namenode ~]# /etc/init.d/salt-minion status

salt-minion dead but pid file exists

仍然没有解决问题。

不要着急，debug一下：

[root@namenode ~]salt-minion -l debug

[INFO ] Setting up the Salt Minion "namenode"

[DEBUG ] Created pidfile: /var/run/salt-minion.pid

[DEBUG ] Reading configuration from /etc/salt/minion

[DEBUG ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 192.168.1.53

[DEBUG ] Initializing new SAuth for ('/etc/salt/pki/minion', 'namenode', 'tcp://192.168.1.53:4506')

[ERROR ] The master key has changed, the salt master could have been subverted, verify salt master's public key

[CRITICAL] The Salt Master server's public key did not authenticate!

The master may need to be updated if it is a version of Salt lower than 2015.5.5, or

If you are confident that you are connecting to a valid Salt Master, then remove the master public key and restart the Salt Minion.

The master public key can be found at:

/etc/salt/pki/minion/minion_master.pub

查看salt-minion日志：

[root@namenode ~]less /var/log/salt/minion

也发现同样的错误：

2015-12-15 16:35:06,519 [salt.crypt][CRITICAL][12704] The Salt Master server's public key did not authenticate!

10647 The master may need to be updated if it is a version of Salt lower than 2015.5.5, or

10648 If you are confident that you are connecting to a valid Salt Master, then remove the master public key and restart the Salt Minion.

10649 The master public key can be found at:

10650 /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion_master.pub

解决方法：

直接在客户端上来上一条

[root@namenode ~]# rm -rf /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion_master.pub

[root@namenode ~]/etc/init.d/salt-minion restart

万事大吉！！！
