Thanks, ojab - tried out your testcase, worked like a charm. (For manual reproduction, I'd recommend sleeping 20 rather than 2)
** Description changed: Oh hai! I've found that 0.37.1-1ubuntu10 in precise/LTS cannot process symlinked executables correctly, the testcase is >$ python -c "import time; time.sleep(2)" & cgclassify $! >Error in determining process name of pid 9738 The issue was fixed upstream in v0.38, see https://sourceforge.net/p/libcg/libcg/ci/acbed86127d5d81d082fa5b90cac13a4f84f877e It will be awesome if the patch will be applied to v0.37 in precise/LTS, because right now cgrulesengd/cgclassify are basically unusable. + + ============================== + SRU Justification: + 1. Impact: symlinked executables cannot be classified + 2. Development fix: in the case of a symlink, read the real + file path from /proc/self/exe + 3. Stable fix: cherrypick small patch from development fix. + 4. Test case: see comment #5. + 5. Regression potential: there should be none, as this fix is + taken straight from upstream and only affects the path when + a symbolic link is being run (which is already broken). + ============================== -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libcgroup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188850 Title: cgrulesengd cannot process symlinked executables To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcgroup/+bug/1188850/+subscriptions -- 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
