Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: cf-serverd launches multiple instances from inittab on Solaris 10? Author: sdodier Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,19503,19503#msg-19503
Hello, I am running cfengine 3, and have an issues with cf-serverd that I would like your input on. I have put the following line in my /etc/inittab on a Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86 server: cf3::respawn:/var/cfengine/bin/cf-serverd -f /var/cfengine/inputs/serverd.cf ISSUE: After I run a "telinit Q", the cf-serverd process shows up in a ps command as expected, but within about 10 minutes another cf-serverd process shows up. Then in another couple minutes another cf-serverd shows up, and another. This continues indefinitely. POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I have changed the /etc/inittab line to be, "cf3::respawn:/var/cfengine/bin/cf-serverd --no-fork -f /var/cfengine/inputs/serverd.cf". QUESTIONS: This has fixed the issue, but will this negatively affect the functionality of the cf-serverd process? Is the forking necessary for the 250 clients that I will have checking in at various times? If the --no-fork is not a solution, what other solutions would allow me to use the inittab and only have one process running? Thanks in advance, Steve _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
