Strange SMSD errors caught with Daemontools..

[Mike Hutchinson]

Hello all,

 

After upgrading my Gnokii-smsd to version 0.6.28, the daemon appeared to be more stable – at least I was not having to restart the daemon when there was a communication error with the phone – or so I thought.. Now I am getting other errors which I had not noticed before. When these happen, communications with the phone stop until I restart SMSD manually – so I am back to square one, with smsd refusing to communicate with the phone after these error messages appear.

 

I have setup gnokii-smsd under Daemontools (DJB’s) this time. This has allowed me to trap the process title errors, and are as follows:

 

root      4081  0.1  0.0   1560   276 ?        S    Apr22   2:30 readproctitle service errors: ....so?b776d000-b776f000 rw-p 00019000 08:01 2359446    /lib/ld-2.7.so?bff33000-bff48000 rw-p bffeb000 00:00 0          [stack]?smsd - version 1.4.4 from gnokii 0.6.28?Couldn't read n?6?V????]/.gnokiirc config file.?Couldn't read n?6?V????]/.gnokiirc config file.?smsd - version 1.4.4 from gnokii 0.6.28?Couldn't read |?6(e????]/.gnokiirc config file.?Couldn't read |?6(e????]/.gnokiirc config file.?

 

Very strange indeed. I have a .gnokiirc file in the /root folder, and a gnokiirc file in /etc. They are mirror copies of each other.  The old version used to say the same rubbish about the config file, but the ld-2.7.so part is new.

 

Any ideas?
