It has shown up again.  This is a Linux box.  STAF was working fine and a
STAX job was running (STAX machine is separate) and interacting with two
Linux machines.  One of them began having this error randomly, as far as I
can tell; it successfully was running processes 14 seconds earlier.

It looks like, from the nohup.out file, this is the "cause" of the failure,
especially since it appears to only effect the process service:

-- snip --
Startup time     : 20100128-17:49:35

STAFProc version 3.3.5 initialized
20100128-17:49:44;1143372096;00000100;STAFProcess::processMonitorThread:

Thanks,
Paul E.

It looks like the AIX box had some funny things going on. I restarted STAF
on it and now it's working ok.

20100122-15:27:31;4370;00000100;Caught STAFException: REGISTER Service

After restarting STAF, I'm not sure I have any more servers in the strange
state. I'll e-mail again if it happens to a server that is already working
ok. :)

Thanks,

Try adding the STDIN option specifying an empty file, e.g. /tmp/empty.txt,
you created on the machine where the process is running, e.g. on sjpwr5c2c.
Does that make a difference?

STAF sjpwr5c2c PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "date" RETURNSTDOUT

First, add option STDERRTOSTDOUT so that you can see if there's any
additional error information when it fails.

Also, try adding option SHELL. For example: STAF local PROCESS START SHELL
COMMAND "date" RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT

This has happened both right after starting STAF as well as after it
already has been working.

It appears to mainly affect starting processes. STAF pinging it works.
Here's an example of the failure:

sjx64ycle:~ # staf local process start command "date" returnstdout wait
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 1
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data :
}
]
}

It should be:
[r...@sjx86098 ~]# staf local process start command "date" returnstdout
wait
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data : Thu Jan 28 10:19:12 PST 2010

}
]
}

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul E.
