Thomas: I see the same thing on AIX 5.1 ML07 machines. In the script: hobbitclient-aix.sh change this line from: netstat -an | grep "^tcp" to netstat -an | grep "^tcp" | head -5000

Most likely the netstat command is looping on the same MAC. The above line fixed the problem.

Strange behaviour on AIX 4.3.3

Hi !

and Happy New Year to everybody !

This afternoon we've seen an abnormal size for the msg.txt file in client directory. Here is output :

PSP100 /opt/hobbit/client/tmp>ll total 934872 -rw-r--r-- 1 root hobbit 0 Jan 11 10:43 hobbit_vmstat.PSP100.50948 -rw-r--r-- 1 root hobbit 38 Jan 11 09:18 logfetch.PSP100.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 41 Jan 11 10:43 logfetch.PSP100.status -rw-r--r-- 1 root hobbit 16384 Jan 11 10:43 msg.PSP100.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 478629888 Jan 11 08:52 msg.PSP100.txt.86546 -rw-r--r-- 1 hobbit hobbit 0 Jan 11 08:49 sar.12108 -rw-r--r-- 1 root hobbit 0 Jan 11 10:43 sar.40790 PSP100 /opt/hobbit/client/tmp>> msg.PSP100.txt.86546

As you can see a file reached 500M in size !! You could notice that some

files were created by 'root'. Well... it's not good 'cause that meaned someone in my team launched Hobbit with this account ! Anyway, it's not the first time I see such size for this file on the machine. How may I prevent that ?

Sincerly,

Thomas
