Well that's good news. My guess is perhaps some bianry characters crept into the code somewhere triggering a response from parser. On 01/13/2011 12:23 PM, Erik Mouw wrote: > On Jan 13, 2011, at 10:57, Mark Burgess wrote: >> Erik, can you try show us exactly what command results in this message. >

Erik, can you try show us exactly what command results in this message. I don't get anything like this when I run your example through Cfengine. M On 01/13/2011 10:38 AM, Erik Mouw wrote: > On Jan 13, 2011, at 10:35, Eystein Måløy Stenberg wrote: > > Hi Eystein, > >> In any case this is a bug

Hey, In any case this is a bug (it should never print non-printable chars). Please retry with Cfengine 3.1.2 (if you are on an older version), as I believe it has already been fixed.. -- Regards Eystein On 01/13/2011 10:04 AM, Erik Mouw wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm writing a promise to keep a names

Yes, we've seen this before but not for a long time. It means that there are too many files, pipes or dbs open. That could be due to a bug (forgot to close something). As long as it does not happen again, I wouldn't worry. The problem is likely fixed in a future version. If it persists, try to

Michael, it seems to be cf-agent's output, so you couldn't catch it just inspecting processes. Perhaps, it's wise to check and probably increase ulimits for user which runs cf-agent in terms of maximum open files. The global file descriptors limits also may require increasing. 2010/9/17 Michael P

Apparently, deleting the cfengine_lock_db in /var/cfengine silenced the errors ... so maybe it was just an errant state setting that didn't get corrected.

Hmm, curious ... I've got two shell commands that generate output - 'makemap' and 'newaliases', but they are only generating messages to stdout, which end up in /dev/null ... what is baffling is the fact 20 other machines run the exact same script just as often, and haven't started spitting out any
