I dug into this a little today by running strace on the call: sudo strace munin-node-configure --shell &> strace.output
Examining that led to the suspicious discover that somebody was attempting to use the Text::CSV_XS library and not finding it so I installed libtext-csv-xs-perl and tried again with no real change in output. Examining the output of strace more revealed that all 109 SIGCHLD actually returned 0. The strace did reveal what appeared to be read off of stdout from child processes and they were all of the form: read(4, "int \"no (no ipmitool output)\"\n\nd"..., 4096) = 1107 read(4, "no (cannot read /proc/acpi/therm"..., 4096) = 55 read(4, "no (Port 80: Forbidden)\n", 4096) = 24 ... or the positive: read(4, "yes\n", 4096) = 4 During the run after the installation of Text::CSV_XS, I did not find anything particularly suspicious in the output. Is there anything else I could provide which might shine light on why --shell does not work? -- munin-node-configure --shell fails on lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to munin in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
