processes: broken in 2.0.8p+ ?

[Jason Sinnamon]

I am having problems with a config that used to work with an earlier release of cfengine (2.0.5).

 

My actionsequence is something like this:

 

  = ( processes 

      everything else

     processes.Signal)

 

The idea being that if anything was installed then signals could be sent to appropriate daemons such as syslogd.

 

The problem I have had since upgrading to 2.0.8p1 is that the initial processes action does not seem to be performed anymore (which just checks for processes) but the processes.Signal is.  Nothing has changed with regard to the config.

 

When cfagent is run with --verbose --inform --debug I get this:

 

 

DEFINED PROCESSES

 

PROCESS syslogd
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=SIGHUP
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120
 Define
 ElseDefine

 

PROCESS inetd
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=SIGHUP
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120
 Define
 ElseDefine

 

PROCESS /usr/sbin/cron
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=SIGHUP
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 IfElapsed=1, ExpireAfter=120
 Define
 ElseDefine
)

Which are just the processes I would normally signal, however other processes I check for are not listed at all.  The two processes actions are in different files.

 

The only thing that changed was that I upgraded.    I downgraded to the version I was using before and got this with exactly the same config:

 

syslogd
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=SIGHUP
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 Define
 ElseDefine

 

inetd
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=SIGHUP
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 Define
 ElseDefine

 

/usr/sbin/cron
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=SIGHUP
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 Define
 ElseDefine

 

ypserv
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=NOSIG
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 Define NIS_Slave
 ElseDefine

 

prusage
 Restart =  (useshell=y)
 matches: ^@-1
 signal=NOSIG
 action=""> ChDir=, ChRoot=
 Define
 ElseDefine PrusageDown
)

 

I upgraded to 2.1.0b7 and still the same problem.  

 

Any ideas ? 

 

 

Thanks...JS
