Hobbit Client "Issues" 🔗 link

Hello,

 
After running the client overnight on an AIX server, and a Tru64 server,
I've noticed a couple of things for each platform.

 
AIX:

The netstat graph is not populating on the server, but it appears that
the client is sending the data across when you look at the "client data
available".  I tried to send examples, but it was rejected due to size
:-)

I'm getting "/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-aix.sh[35]: top:  not
found." in the hobbitclient.log.  Is there a way to check if a command
exists before trying to run it?  I know how to put top on, but I don't
use it anymore (haven't in years), is there a way to "turn it off", or
is it just easier to remove the top definition from the
hobbitclient-aix.sh file?

 
Tru64:

I'm getting the following errors:

/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh: swapon: not found

/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh: netstat: not found

/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh: top: not found

 
Swapon and netstat both exist on this server, but they are not being
found.  I figured I could add the path to the command in the
hobbitclient-osf1.sh file, but I wanted to make sure this was the right
way to do it.  The .profile file the hobbit user didn't contain the
right path for these files, but that was corrected, and we restarted the
client, with the same effect.

 
Thanks, and have a great day

 
Al

I'll bet you have some voluminous process-listings. I still have the
data you sent me, so I'll run that through the netstat parser and see if
I can find the problem.

The client scripts are *really* just shell-scripts. The "top" output is
only used as an informational add-on to the cpu status (Hobbit doesn't
collect any data from the top output), so yes - you can just rip out
that part of the hobbitclient-aix.sh script, and it will work.

I can probably add some code to look for the top binary and only execute
it if it exists.

Like i said, those are just shell scripts so setting up PATH in that
script is an OK way to fix it.

Henrik
