How do I debug a hobbit client?
list Tom Kauffman
I'm trying to get the hobbit client running on AIX (5.3 TL-02) -- and while it starts, and stays up, it's not generating a 'msg.txt' file. Here's all I've got in the log: 2007-01-04 14:41:32 hobbitlaunch starting 2007-01-04 14:41:32 Loading tasklist configuration from /usr/local/bbuser/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg TIA Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments are for the exclusive and confidential use of the intended recipient.

The client task usually logs to "hobbitclient.log" - anything there? I seem to recall there was a problem with AIX and netstat reported some time ago, where the client would hang while running "netstat -an". Check what processes you have running spawned from hobbitlaunch (if any). Henrik

Well, I beat my way through part of it; I'll take a look again tomorrow. For some reason, BBTMP never got set. After hard-coding it in hobbitclient.sh I could get hobbitclient.sh to run and get hobbitclient_AIX.sh to run, with output. But hobbitlaunch doesn't seem to be starting hobbitclient.sh. I have a suspicion -- letcha know tomorrow. Thanks! Tom

Interesting. The failure was an incomplete pass at cut & pase update of the clientlaunch.cfg. As a result, I had multiple [client] stanzas. I'm assuming that only the last one got launched, and it's a quick-running test that leaves no tracks on the client. Now to work on my centralized "I don't care" rules . . . Tom
