clientupdate?

Henrik,

What is the status (this release? next release?) of clientupdate to automatically update the client?  We read the man page and configured it, hoping it would work.  Obviously, it would save us a lot of time.  Here is what we get on the client:

tail -f hobbitclient.log
2006-07-19 13:30:59 connect to bbd failed - Connection refused
2006-07-19 13:30:59 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed
Cannot fetch new client tarfile
tar: blocksize = 0

ls -al ../tmp
-rw-r--r--   1 nmsbb    staff          0 Jul 19 13:36 .inprogress.update
-r-xr-x---   1 nmsbb    staff     165540 Jul 19 13:30 .update.omzimp01.1153315859.tmp


Anything we can do to help, or hack this to get it to work?

Sorry, the server is Fedora Core 5, the client is Solaris 8.

It should be working in the current release (the original RC from July 12).

That is odd. Why can't it connect to the Hobbit server? It uses the same
method of connecting for the client update as it does when sending in the client data.

Any signs in the server logs of hobbitd crashing? If yes, do apply the
current "allinone.patch" to the server and retry this.

What does your client-local.cfg file have for this client, and what
files do you have in the ~hobbit/download/ directory?

No signs of the server crashing.  The server is fine and while clientupdate is not working the client is fine otherwise all statuses up to date.

I am currently using the latest snapshot for client and server.

Any chance we can get some feedback on this?  Congrats Adam, you are getting further than we have.  Regardless, the tmp files it creates without the 'w'rite attribute are a nuisance:

utility pulls down?

It looks something like this:

client-local.cfg:

[clienthost]
clientversion:sunos8.v1
file:/opt/app/apache/logs/access.log
log:/opt/app/apache/logs/error.log:10240
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
ignore srsxfer

[hobbit at hobbit download]$ ls
sunos8.v1.tar
[hobbit at hobbit download]$ pwd
/home/hobbit/server/download

Any chance we can get some feedback on this?  Congrats Adam, you
are
getting further than we have.  Regardless, the tmp files it
creates
without the 'w'rite attribute are a nuisance:

Oops -- there shouldn't be a space inbetween update= and sunos8.v1

Well, after bumbling through the source code with gdb and being rather 
clueless, I did spot various clientupdate arguments including the one 
you have listed.  So having tried that and this:

./clientupdate --update=sunos8.v1.1

and this:

 ./.update.myHost01.1153492317.tmp --update=sunos8.v1.1

It works rather nicely, but of course we would like to see it work 
automatically as designed, but it does save a whole bunch of scp'ing in 
the interim.  It may also have a PATH bug:

myHost:/var/home/nmsbb/client/tmp> ./.update.myHost01.1153490198.tmp 
--update=sunos8.v1
Cannot chdir to BBHOME

It works after you export BBHOME, but that is not a problem on my 
original host where I still experience the problem.  In summary, 
clientupdate creates the tmp file which is the clientupdate binary and 
then fails.  Since clientupdate works manually, if we could figure out 
where the disconnect is the problem would be solved, hopefully.

Adam, did you try copying the tar file over manually and extracting it 
as your hobbit client user to make sure it all goes as planned?

It should be working in the current release (the original RC from
July 12).


We read the man page and configured it, hoping it would work.
Obviously, it would save us a lot of time.  Here is what we get
            
on
  
the client:

tail -f hobbitclient.log
2006-07-19 13:30:59 connect to bbd failed - Connection refused
2006-07-19 13:30:59 Whoops ! bb failed to send message -
            
Connection
    
failed
Cannot fetch new client tarfile

            
That is odd. Why can't it connect to the Hobbit server? It uses
          
the
  
same
      
method of connecting for the client update as it does when
          
sending
  
in
    
the client data.

Any signs in the server logs of hobbitd crashing? If yes, do
          
apply
  
the
    
current "allinone.patch" to the server and retry this.


No signs of the server crashing.  The server is fine and while
clientupdate is not working the client is fine otherwise all
        
statuses
    
up to date.

I am currently using the latest snapshot for client and server.
        
What does your client-local.cfg file have for this client, and
          
what
  
files do you have in the ~hobbit/download/ directory?


It looks something like this:

client-local.cfg:

[clienthost]
clientversion:sunos8.v1
file:/opt/app/apache/logs/access.log
log:/opt/app/apache/logs/error.log:10240
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
ignore srsxfer

[hobbit at hobbit download]$ ls
sunos8.v1.tar
