Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: Finding "segfault at" error messages in syslog Author: Sal Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,19645,19675#msg-19675
I have on more than one occasion had to rely on the failsafe to fix broken configs. Some of our new tasks are tested live, so to speak, by some of our sysads that have not gotten into the habit of running cf-promises before pushing the changes/additions. That's why I thought it was odd that I saw a segfault then nothing. I ran a manual run with cf-execd -F -K -v on one of the instances that was segfaulting to watch the output and I saw it get to that bundle then it segfaulted and exited. Never got past that so it couldn't get to the failsafe portion of the process. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that cf-execd verifies the syntax of the current local copy of the input files then starts the cf-agent failsafe and cf-agent standard run. It appeared that cf-execd was exiting before it could start the cf-agent failsafe run. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
