Bug 18372 – openmosix init script assumes omdiscd in /sbin

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeff Ames 2003-03-28 09:35:31 UTC]

The /etc/init.d/openmosix script (from openmosix-user-0.2.4-r5) contains this
section:

  if [ $AUTODISC -eq 1  ]; then
      if [ ! -x /sbin/omdiscd ]; then
          eerror "openMosix: omdiscd not installed, exiting"
          exit
      fi
  fi

But omdiscd is installed in /usr/sbin by default.

You're right, i changed it to /usr/sbin/omdiscd

Thanks for the hint!

Please test and report if it works now.

[Comment 2 Jeff Ames 2003-03-30 09:43:43 UTC]

omdiscd seems to start without a problem now.

However, I couldn't get openmosix to actually start when omdiscd ran,
until I rebuilt it without the #define ALPHA in autodiscovery/openmosix.c.

[Comment 3 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) 2003-03-31 09:33:48 UTC]

Ok, I uncommented the lines that remove ALPHA from the sources again and bumped the version to -r6.
Autodiscovery should work again.

Thanks for your help!
