Route/Netstat Crashing and/or Ipconfig Not Working = Purple results
Folks, we have three dell power edge 2950s that are running a Win2k3 OS as well as the Citrix Xenapp (version 5.0). What we see is that Hobbit will report the basic test purple (CPU, Disk, Mem, ect) after some time has pasted. When we logon to the systems we usually see a crash message saying that either route.exe or netstat has crashed. Checking the task manger on these boxes shows we can have a mix of netstat and route.exe still running (some times its just one, other there are 2 or more instances, or just one of them running, ect). Looking at the event viewer we will usually see: The agent stats generated this event message : failed to execute ipconfig /all
But no other error indications on those boxes. And of course when we run this ipconfig command it works all the time for us. The simple fix is to kill any an all netstat.exe, route.exe and cmd windows they tried to run and then the servers go back to green. Problem is they will only last for some time until they go purple. And the time it takes is random. Finally we have 6 other Citrix servers all configured in the same manor that do NOT exhibit this behavior.
So any ideas on how to find out why netstat/route keep crashing?
Thanks! Jb
This sounds like an issue with the client, not the server.

Thanks for the feedback. We had to install Hobbit on about 40 servers. We ended up scripting the install to make life easier and ensure all of the servers got the same version, installed the same day, ect. We also made sure that the we had set the mode on the citrix box to install before we ran the script.
Is there any way that we can get Hobbit to run the commands in more of a verbose mode? We would love to see the cmd window that it spawns to run the netstat or ipconfig commands so we can see what its hanging up as... We tried to change one of the servers so bbwin runs as with a different account and left that account logged in hoping a CMD window or other data would be persevered. But no luck :(

Are you running BBWin in local or central mode?
Do you have any external scripts running besides the defaults?
BBWin shouldn't be executing ipconfig or netstat
In the bbwin.cfg change the following line
<setting name="loglevel" value="0">
Change 0 to 1
No need to restart as bbwin will restart on a change of the cfg file.

BBWin shouldn't be executing ipconfig or netstat
BBWin does shell out and call ipconfig and netstat. However, I could only find netstat.tmp being generated in %TEMP%. I think it runs these in both central and local modes.

Malcolm, Thanks for your input! Are you saying that there is a netstat.tmp file that may still be in the %TEMP% dir? If so I can look for it to see if there is anything in that file that may shed light on this issue.

Yes, it should contain the output from netstat -s.
Also, I suggest disabling the external script to see if that helps.

Malcolm, Thanks again for your inputs. We removed the ext script and that did not help.
Looking into the BBWIN\tmp dir we see that there was a msg file that seems it was hung up. As soon as we killed one of the CMD process we saw running, the file was sent and then the stats went green. The file was msg.servername.number (where number looked like a randomly generated 4 digit value). Before we killed that process we saw that last line of this file had data about ports in it:
[ports]
Active Connections
Nothing else looked out of place in the file!
So at this point should we try something like process explorer to see were that CMD is coming from that's holding that msg file?

You'll probably find that it's spawned by BBwin. Have you tried running BBwin in local mode instead of central? One of the reasons I switched from using central mode was it's so buggy.

Then it just keeps going like that until we correct it. I can try to disable the external script (that is suppose to report the number of Terminal users back to hobbit).
I want to double check to make sure I anser the local vrs central mode.
One thing I thought, could something else running on the server cause issues with hobbit (maybe another tool/script is causing the crash and holding hobbit up)?

Are you running BBWin in local or central mode?
Do you have any external scripts running besides the defaults?
BBWin shouldn't be executing ipconfig or netstat
In the bbwin.cfg change the following line
<setting name="loglevel" value="0">
Change 0 to 1
No need to restart as bbwin will restart on a change of the cfg file.

Folks,
all servers are running Win2003 w/SP 2 as the OS.
BBWin is version 0.12

Thanks for the feedback. We had to install Hobbit on about 40 servers. We ended up scripting the install to make life easier and ensure all of the servers got the same version, installed the same day, ect. We also made sure that the we had set the mode on the citrix box to install before we ran the script.
Is there any way that we can get Hobbit to run the commands in more of a verbose mode? We would love to see the cmd window that it spawns to run the netstat or ipconfig commands so we can see what its hanging up as... We tried to change one of the servers so bbwin runs as with a different account and left that account logged in hoping a CMD window or other data would be persevered. But no luck :(

This sounds like an issue with the client, not the server.

Folks, we have three dell power edge 2950s that are running a Win2k3 OS as well as the Citrix Xenapp (version 5.0). What we see is that Hobbit will report the basic test purple (CPU, Disk, Mem, ect) after some time has pasted. When we logon to the systems we usually see a crash message saying that either route.exe or netstat has crashed. Checking the task manger on these boxes shows we can have a mix of netstat and route.exe still running (some times its just one, other there are 2 or more instances, or just one of them running, ect). Looking at the event viewer we will usually see:
The agent stats generated this event message : failed to execute ipconfig /all
But no other error indications on those boxes. And of course when we run this ipconfig command it works all the time for us. The simple fix is to kill any an all netstat.exe, route.exe and cmd windows they tried to run and then the servers go back to green. Problem is they will only last for some time until they go purple. And the time it takes is random. Finally we have 6 other Citrix servers all configured in the same manor that do NOT exhibit this behavior.
So any ideas on how to find out why netstat/route keep crashing?
Thanks! Jb

You can run bbwin.exe --debug from the command line but I'm not sure whether that will help. I'm surprised that bbwin is shelling out to call route, ipconfig and netstat but then some of the other code isn't that great either.
