[hobbit] Server side scripts not running

Nope, I take back my last take-back. I am still having a problem. The
server-side script echos a few lines to stdout and these are not
appearing in the log file $BBSERVERLOGS/replicate_ldap.log . I cannot
see any proof that the script is running.

 

Any ideas?

Hi all,

I am clearly missing something basic here but I can't figure out what it
is and I can't find anything that looks like my problem in the archives.

I have written a script that should be run on the Xymon server. It does
an LDAP update on my LDAP master server, waits ten seconds then checks
that this value has been replicated to all the other LDAP servers.

The script is /opt/hobbit/server/ext/ldap_check_replication and when run
as the Hobbit user like so:

$ server/bin/bbcmd server/ext/ldap_check_replication

it runs fine and the web pages are updated.

The problem is in getting it to be run by the Xymon server. I created an
entry in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file as that seemed to be the right place
to put it, I created the following entry:

----

# "replicate_ldap" runs the in-house LDAP replication checks.

[replicate_ldap]

        ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

        CMD /opt/hobbit/server/ext/ldap_check_replication

        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/replicate_ldap.log

        INTERVAL 5m

----

But it refuses to run and nothing is mentioned in any log files
anywhere!

I would appreciate your input.
