Hi all
A policy file of mine is supposed to configure ntp on the systems.
Unfortunately, aptitude/dpkg hang requiring keyboard input, and cf-agent
hangs on them.
I've been searching for a way to timeout cf-agent on package
installations, with no luck. But I am sure there *must* be a way...
Any suggestions?
The promise I'm using is:
packages:
"$(packages)"
comment => "Install packages required to implement NTP",
package_policy => "add",
package_method => apt; # defined in stdlib
and the processes end up like this:
root@cfclient1:# pstree -p `pgrep cf-agent`
cf-agent(1384)───sh(1398)───aptitude(1399)─┬─dpkg(1525)
└─{aptitude}(1400)
root@cfclient1:# pgrep -lf aptitude
1398 sh -c /usr/bin/aptitude --assume-yes install ntpdate ntp
1399 /usr/bin/aptitude --assume-yes install ntpdate ntp
I'm on a Debian Linux "Squeeze" system, running on VirtualBox
Ciao
