Hi Henrik,
I am running the snapshot from 7th August on this server, with the pscheck
patch applied.
You resolved the clientdata problem on 12th July. The hostdata module does
not terminate, but just keeps saying
"Our child has failed and will not talk to us: Channel clichg, PID 38436"
My hobbitlaunch.cfg file contains the following lines :-
[hobbitd]
HEARTBEAT
ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
CMD hobbitd --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid
--restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk
--checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-interval=600
--log=$BBSERVERLOGS/ho
bbitd.log --store-clientlogs=!msgs --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP
.
.
# Note: The --store-clientlogs option for the [hobbitd] provides control
over
# which status-changes will cause a client message to be stored.
[hostdata]
ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=clichg --debug
--log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hostdata.log
--logdir=$BBVAR/hostdata hobbitd_hostdata
.
.
The hobbitlaunch.log file :-
