Well, after bumbling through the source code with gdb and being rather
clueless, I did spot various clientupdate arguments including the one
you have listed. So having tried that and this:
./clientupdate --update=sunos8.v1.1
and this:
./.update.myHost01.1153492317.tmp --update=sunos8.v1.1
It works rather nicely, but of course we would like to see it work
automatically as designed, but it does save a whole bunch of scp'ing in
the interim. It may also have a PATH bug:
myHost:/var/home/nmsbb/client/tmp> ./.update.myHost01.1153490198.tmp
--update=sunos8.v1
Cannot chdir to BBHOME
It works after you export BBHOME, but that is not a problem on my
original host where I still experience the problem. In summary,
clientupdate creates the tmp file which is the clientupdate binary and
then fails. Since clientupdate works manually, if we could figure out
where the disconnect is the problem would be solved, hopefully.
Adam, did you try copying the tar file over manually and extracting it
as your hobbit client user to make sure it all goes as planned?
