Can't start symux --> symux: could not get a semaphore

[Marcos Laufer]

I have a problem starting symux on OpenBSD 3.7, it was working
fine untill today that the machine crashed leaving no log at all, and
when i went up again something went wrong with symux,
maybe someone knows what's going on.


I run the following command to start it:

/usr/local/libexec/symon
su -m nobody -c /usr/local/libexec/symux

and i get this in /var/log/messages:

Oct  5 23:29:01 srv1 symux: symux version 2.67
Oct  5 23:29:01 srv1 symux: could not get a semaphore

symon starts properly, i get no error or problem, but symux shows that
message and doesn't start.

Here i paste my symon config:

cat /etc/symon.conf
#
# $Id: symon.conf,v 1.12 2004/02/26 22:48:08 dijkstra Exp $
#
# Demo configuration for symon. See symon(8) for BNF.

monitor { cpu(0),  mem,
          if(lo0),
         mbuf,
         proc(httpd),
         if(sk0), if(xl0), if(xl1), if(fxp0),
         io(wd0), io(wd1)
} stream to 10.10.10.101 2100



Here is my symux config:

cat /etc/symux.conf
