Shell Script Test not working on Solaris 9

I tried all the sample scripts provided but they all fail with:

Agent error: Cannot read data

Then I wrote a HelloWorld script like this:

#!/bin/sh
echo "scriptres:Ok:HelloWorld"

This one works fine:

- Status: Ok
- Reply: HelloWorld

I already checked the timeout issue but since timeout is set to 120 sec there must be another reason for this...

If anyone has a hint why the other scripts, i.e. "SYSTEM: Swap free" do not work I would be more than happy!

Thanks
Sven

PS: It looks like it is not possible to use scripts with more than about 145 bytes with unix rma. I put the script directly on the solaris machine and wrote a wrapper script with just a few bytes. This works for the moment but it can only be an interim solution since the deployment/update of the scripts is not very handy like this.

I have tested agent on our Solaris 9 system, works fine. I have checked code and have just one possible explanation - you are using agent that was compiled with wrong _BYTE_ORDER option.
What exactly agent do you use? We have many agents on our server, could you provide download link? Probably you have compiled agent by yourself?
You are using Intel system or SPARC system?

We have solaris 9 on SPARC machines.

Which is the current rma to use on this platform? Where can we get it from?

We have binary RMA 0.80 for SPARC. Available at http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/downpage.htm
If you have gcc compiler, you may recompile latest version 1.20. Just send request to support@ks-soft.net and we provide source codes.
Or if you can provide telnet access to your SPARC system, we can recompile agent for you.

I downloaded this but the executable binary file "rma" is missing.
Do I have to compile bymyself or what is the actual application binary?

There is rma_s binary module in this package

I tried this but only get this error message:

ld.so.1: ./rma_s: fatal: libstdc++.so.4: open failed: No such file or directory

Hi Alex,

Sorry - I dod not see that in the manual...

Anyway:

We have installed gcc 3.41:

root@hs2pqman2-/usr/local/lib# pkginfo|grep gcc
application SMCgcc342 gcc

Since libgcc is included in gcc packages I think this should be enough.

Would it be possible to use this newer version instead of installing the older 3.3?

I think you may use newer version. Just create link that points to existing library using standard UNIX command "ln". I think its better to create symbolic link (using "-s" option) instead of hard link.

Hi Alex,

This seams to work now.

However I will drop an email request for the source code of 1.20.

Thanks
