Thanks Javier :-)
Exit code 127 normally means the command is not found rather than that
the command is found but does not have the correct permissions. In my
first post I described trying /usr/sbin/tapeinfo and getting similar
results.
bacula-sd runs as user bacula and group tape. "Other" permissions look OK:
# ls -l /usr/sbin/tapeinfo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 44400 Oct 24 2014 /usr/sbin/tapeinfo
# ls -ld /usr/sbin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Apr 18 06:35 /usr/sbin
/usr/sbin/tapeinfo runs as bacula with group tape (after changing
bacula's shell from /bin/false):
# su -c 'sg tape -c /bin/bash' bacula
bash: cannot set terminal process group (8642): Inappropriate ioctl for
device
bash: no job control in this shell
$ id
uid=112(bacula) gid=26(tape) groups=26(tape),119(bacula)
$ /usr/sbin/tapeinfo -f /dev/st0
cannot open SCSI device '/dev/st0' - No medium found
I believe I am doing something stupid in the conf file causing bacula-sd
to attempt to run a command other than (/usr/sbin/)tapeinfo, perhaps
with a quote included in the name or with the arguments not separated
from the command word.
Here's the first attempt, copied and pasted from the Main Reference
(.bu0 means "backup 0"):
# grep '^ .*Alert' bacula-sd.conf.bu0
Alert Command = "sh -c ’tapeinfo -f %c | grep TapeAlert’
