a bug in distribution detection...

[daggett]

Hi,
I have a Mandriva 2006 installed on one of my servers which has a /etc/lsb-release file...
here is the Pandora Agent detection code:
[code:1]
if [ -f "/etc/lsb-release" ]
then
        OS_VERSION=`cat /etc/lsb-release | grep DISTRIB_RELEASE | cut -f 2 -d "="`
        LINUX_DISTRO=UBUNTU
   echo "Detected distribution: $LINUX_DISTRO"
   echo "Version: $OS_VERSION"
        # *** put your code and vars for UBUNTU here
        # CONSOLE_PATH="/var/www/html"
        # *** between those comments
else[/code]

So when executing this, the Mandriva is not anymore a Mandriva but a Ubuntu...
here is the content of my lsb-release:
[code:1]#  cat /etc/lsb-release
LSB_VERSION=core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch
DISTRIB_ID=MandrivaLinux
DISTRIB_RELEASE=
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Cooker
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Mandriva Linux"[/code]

So I removed the UBUNTU support in my agents for now.
bye for now.

After this we will add support for mandriva detection. What directory by default uses Mandriva por HTTP/APache daemon ?

Hi Nil,
For Mandriva, I gave my files to Manu who said he had added them in the SVN, and I included the Mandriva support in it, but those files have changed because of some improvemens: I don't get _any_ BADXML anymore since 2 days, so the charset issue is fixed for me (added a trick to make the Pandora Agent v1.2 work in any situations I can encounter).

To answer directly to your question, the Mandriva HTTP default directory is /var/www/html

I also added some verification script that checks if Pandora is still running and restarts it if not every hour (cron.hourly).

bye for now
