clientlaunch.cfg vs. hobbittasks.cfg
Hello! Old bb user, new to setting up a set of clients with a hobbit server in a new environment. There have been, of course, some oddities...
The first line in clientlaunch.cfg
cheerfully maintains:
The hobbittasks.cfg file is loaded by "hobbitlaunch".
I gather this is a typo/leftover, and should now start "The clientlaunch.cfg..."? If not, I am powerfully confused XD
Speaking of confused... i am using a Debian system and think this is a Debian/bash conspiracy on my end, but my hobbitclient.log shows nothing but scads of
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
when i attempt to start the client, and nothing else. The archives don't seem to yield a hit on this. Kernel is 2.6.11, smp (on the client in question. the server install and function appear fine).
Thanks!

Indeed. I've fixed that reference to an old filename now.

First time ever I've heard of this problem. And I run Debian on my home systems too.
Could you do an "ls -lR ~hobbit/client/" ?

Thanks. Hard to tell setting up something new if it was a typo or if i was just being dense...

You'll see that i'm not using the 'hobbit' username at present - this is a test install, and i built it as -client on the system in question (and installed as root, etc).
The hobbitlaunch.log file, which is rather huger than yesterday, is full of nothing but
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

hello again, maybe this will help:

With every 5 seconds a new line appearing in the log of
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
What's strange is it seems to be working now, for the most part. I let this client run, shut down the hobbitd, and it faithfully complained of a lack of server to send to.
What is it trying to do with this getcwd() that is failing, and that doesn't seem to affect the reports sent to the host..?
Of note: there is an ancient Debian bugrep about this message that was alternately blamed on bash 2.03 and dpkg < 1.9, and closed as "resolved with dpkg 1.9" - as i have bash 3-something and dpkg 1.10+ i am going to assume it was not :D. It was reported as a rare occurance by all parties at the time, but it shows up like clockwork here.
Hope this helps...
