Issue #22322 has been updated by Melissa Stone. Status changed from Merged - Pending Release to Closed
Release in Facter 1.7.4-rc1 ---------------------------------------- Bug #22322: facter should suppress stderr from "swap" commands on Solaris https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22322#change-101220 * Author: Lee Lowder * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: solaris * Target version: 1.7.4 * Keywords: solaris swap stderr * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/530 * Affected Facter version: ---------------------------------------- [ from a customer ] facter should suppress stderr from "swap" commands on Solaris (2>/dev/null) as this causes the pe-mcollective-metadata cron job to spew out many unnecessary emails to root on a system with no swap device. This cron entry causes output (and conversely, an email to root every time it runs): # Puppet Name: pe-mcollective-metadata 0,15,30,45 * * * * /opt/puppet/sbin/refresh-mcollective-metadata Here's the junk from facter, when you do not have swap devices configured. Facter no longer errors when there's no swap device, however it shouldn't output any message (the swap command actually does this, so it needs to be redirected to null --- 2>/dev/null) root@mndevadm02 puppetlabs # /opt/puppet/sbin/refresh-mcollective-metadata No swap devices configured No swap devices configured No swap devices configured No swap devices configured -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
