[mrtg] Re: Rateup died from Signal 13 (SOLVED) New Bug in MRTG?

[Adam Augustine]

After checking permissions on directories and everything else I could think
of, I tried creating a log file with all zeros.

When MRTG next ran, it updated the .log file, then it created a file with a
.tmp extension which looked like it should be the .old file (based on the
contents), but still gave the same error. I copied the .tmp to the .old and
magically it worked.

It seems some process rateup is feeding to dies before rateup is done, thus
the Signal 13 (Broken Pipe). I assume whatever process it is is dying before
the .log and .old are created.

MRTG used to automatically create its own .log and .old if they didn't
already exist (issueing a warning when it did).

Anyone know why the behavior changed? It may be that when the process looks
for the file it and can't find it, it just dies instead of catching the
error and creating a new one (or ones).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
	Adam

I upgraded my 2.9.12a (on Linux) to 2.9.17. I also added a few new targets.
After I restarted, I get the following error:

 2001-07-23 15:00:23 -- WARNING: rateup died from Signal 13
 with Exit Value 0 when doing router 'latencyandpacketlossfor10.122.6.1'
 Signal was 13, Returncode was 0

For each of the new targets. All old targets work perfectly. No new log
files are created (even though permissions on the directory are correct as
far as I can tell).

I have tried searching the archives because I am sure this has been
addressed before, but even searching for "rateup" in all three of the mrtg
lists returns nothing. I must not be searching right (any hints?).

What does the error I am getting mean?

Thanks,
	Adam
