Hi, On a node running Puppet 2.7.9 from apt.puppetlabs.com, using Ubuntu 10.04.3 the agent hangs after a few hours of operation. I have to kill -9 it, nothing else helps. Obviously, this is unfortunate.
Looking at ps -ef I see this: root 4842 4594 0 Jan04 pts/0 00:00:55 /usr/bin/ruby1.8 /usr/bin/puppet agent --verbose --no-daemonize --debug root 9803 4842 0 Jan04 pts/0 00:00:00 [sh] <defunct> It seems a defunct sh process is responsible. This has happened before on that node so I started the agent with the command line arguments you see above. Unfortunately the produced debug logs don't look any different from the debug logs on a node where I haven't observed this behavior. The logs from the last run can be found here, nonetheless: http://pastie.org/3128200 The problem seems to happen regularly on that particular node but I looked around other nodes we have running and it seems to happen on a few others as well. These nodes don't have anything in common (not even the puppet master) but do have a few common modules applied. Could this be caused by one of those modules? How would I go about debugging? Or does anyone already know what's going on here? Thanks, Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
