Issue #3013 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
New branch up, with my best approximation of a solution. After researching the osirid problem (our worst known case) and such similar bug reports as google provides an inquirer, it appears that the SIGPIPE problem is not likely to be an issue. Most daemons do not retain the caller's STDOUT, and those do generally do not write to it (they retain it as an oversight, not with the intention to use it). Daemon that retain the caller's STDOUT and attempt o write to it after the caller has ceased to exist without checking for the possible failure (if any exist) would generally be considered buggy to the point that we may be forgiven for not accommodating them. Get the branch here & try it and/or see the dev-list for the commit and any ensuing discussion. -- Markus P.S. If anyone has access to a Debian Etch box and would be willing to try and reproduce the osirid problem, I would be very interested in the results. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3013: util.rb:execute broken on Ruby <1.8.3 http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3013 Author: Ricky Zhou Status: Ready for Testing Priority: Urgent Assigned to: Markus Roberts Category: exec Target version: 0.25.3 Affected version: 0.25.2 Keywords: Branch: http://github.com/MarkusQ/puppet/tree/ticket/0.25.x/3013 Apparently the patch in ticket #2731 introduced one more issue by using readpartial, which isn't available until ruby 1.8.3 (RHEL4 at least is affected). I'm not sure how this is normally handled in ruby, but if the readpartial function is not available, the code should fall back to sysread (along with some code for handling EINTR). Anybody with better ruby knowledge know how this should be done? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
