I'm seeing the same behavior with fdisk on a RHEL 32-bit system when
STAFProc is started during boot. Even something like running "fdisk -v"
will reproduce the problem:
# fdisk -v
fdisk (util-linux 2.13-pre7)
# STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "fdisk -v" RETURNSTDOUT
STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data :
}
]
}
And if I start STAFProc after the system has booted, then it works fine:
# STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "fdisk -v" RETURNSTDOUT
STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data : fdisk (util-linux 2.13-pre7)
}
]
}
I've done some troubleshooting (using STDIN, changing the boot
sequence/options when starting STAFProc) but nothing has resolved the
problem.
Unfortunately I don't have any workarounds (other than starting STAFProc
after the system boots). You can open a bug on SourceForge to track the
problem.
Thanks,
David

[staf-users] Starting STAF automatically as root
Hi,
I am facing an intersting issue. I want to start staf on a host(RHEL 5
- 64 bit) when it boots up. Now I want to run a command on it remotely.
To start staf I have added a script in /etc/init.d so that it starts when
host boots up
Below is the snippet of the script
----
echo -n "Starting STAF: "
PATH=/usr/local/staf/bin:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/staf/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/staf/lib/JSTAF.jar:/usr/local/staf/samples/demo/STAFDemo.jar:$CLASSPATH
STAFCONVDIR=/usr/local/staf/codepage
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH CLASSPATH STAFCONVDIR
/usr/local/staf/bin/STAFProc >/dev/null 2>&1 &
------------
Good news is that staf starts successfully. Bad news is that I am not able
to issue all the commands
[arv...@achandra-dev1 local]$ staf 192.168.1.69 process start wait
returnstdout shell command "ls -l"

Now I run this command
[arv...@achandra-dev1 local]$ staf 192.168.1.69 process start wait
returnstdout shell command "fdisk -l"
Response

This is the information about trust level
[arv...@achandra-dev1 local]$ staf 192.168.1.69 trust list
Response
--------

Machine *://* 5
Not sure why I am not able to issue this command
Now I log into the host as root and stop staf. Then restart STAF
Now again I issue command and it works
[arv...@achandra-dev1 local]$ staf 192.168.1.69 process start wait
returnstdout shell command "fdisk -l"

}
]
}
The version of STAF is 3.3.0
Am I missing something.
Thanks
