I upgraded from v2.8.4 to v2.8.5 on a RHEL5.5 machine - see [1] and [2] below
for version info.
When I tried to restart the xcatd daemon, I got the following error:
[root@head]# service xcatd restart
Restarting xCATd Unknown warnings category 'Sys::Syslog' at
/opt/xcat/sbin/xcatd line 109
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/xcat/sbin/xcatd line
109.
[FAILED]
The version of Perl is v5.8.8. I even tried updating the Perl package from the
patch server:
Updating:
perl x86_64 4:5.8.8-41.el5
Ultimately, I commented out both of the references to warnings qw(Sys::Syslog)
and the service started successfully.
use Sys::Syslog qw(:DEFAULT setlogsock);
openlog("xcatd",,"local4");
# turn off warnings for call to setlogsock. puts out warning
message if
# syslog tcp port not defined in /etc/services. this can
safely be ignored.
#no warnings qw(Sys::Syslog);
setlogsock(["tcp","unix","stream"]);
#use warnings qw(Sys::Syslog);
Perhaps there's some dependency on a newer version of Perl or Sys::Syslog - see
here for history:
