Hopefully someone can help me with some weird behaviour that I'm seeing. I've
got a fresh Spacewalk 1.1 install on a CentOS 5 server with multiple CentOS 5
clients (all 64-bit in case it makes a difference for some reason) and three of
the registered systems are returning errors when running remote commands.
It doesn't matter what the scheduled remote command is, but 3 of the 20 systems
registered to this Spacewalk server always fail whilst the 17 other systems
execute the exact same commands perfectly. Here's an example from the System
History Event page:
> Summary: Run an arbitrary script scheduled by ######
> Details: This action will be executed after 10/ 3/10 6:04:00 PM BST.
>
> This action's status is: Failed.
> The client picked up this action on 10/ 3/10 6:06:32 PM BST.
> The client completed this action on 10/ 3/10 6:06:34 PM BST.
> Client execution returned "Script failed" (code 1)
>
>
> Run as: root:root
> Timeout: 600 seconds
>
> #!/bin/bash
> echo "test"
>
>
> Start Date: 2010-10-03 18:06:32
> End Date: 2010-10-03 18:06:32
> Return Code: 256
> Raw Output: view/download raw script output
> Filtered Output:
>
>
> Time: 10/ 3/10 6:06:06 PM BST
The return code is always 256, no matter what the script actually returns. Both
the raw output and filtered output are always blank. If I run the script on the
host manually then the return code is 0 and there is the same output as on
other hosts where it is working through Spacewalk.
These scripts are usually picked up by OSAD, but even if I disable OSAD and
manually run rhn_check --verbose there is absolutely no output whatsoever
I've confirmed that all actions are enabled with rhn-actions-control, and even
disabled and re-enabled all of them. I've also made sure that
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/script/run exists and has the same
permissions as a working system.
I've pretty much run out of ideas at this point, so any help from someone more
experienced with Spacewalk would really appreciated.
