Task hobbitd terminated, status 1
For some strange reason, hobbit just stopped working a few days ago. Client data was no longer being reported and all alerts went purple. I decided to try a recompile/reinstall just for the heck of it, now I can't even get hobbitd to start :)
Here is the error from hobbitlaunch.log:
2005-10-18 08:24:10 hobbitlaunch starting 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Loading tasklist configuration from /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Loading hostnames 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Loading saved state 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Setting up signal handlers 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Setting up hobbitd channels 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Could not get shm of size 262144: Invalid argument 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Cannot setup status channel 2005-10-18 08:24:10 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1
That's about it, over and over. I searched through the archives and only came up with a few results, but there didn't really seem to be anything that solved the problem. Any suggestions?

It complains that it cannot setup the shared memory (shm) segments needed for communicating with the hobbitd_* modules.
First, login as the hobbit user and run "ipcs -m" to see if any shared-memory segments exist for this user. When hobbitd is stopped there should not be any. If you see something like this:
hobbit at osiris:~$ ipcs -m
------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status 0x020289c7 32769 hobbit 600 262144 2 0x030289c7 65538 hobbit 600 262144 2 0x040289c7 98307 hobbit 600 262144 2 0x050289c7 131076 hobbit 600 262144 1 0x060289c7 163845 hobbit 600 32768 1 0x070289c7 196614 hobbit 600 524288 2
and there is no hobbitd running, then the normal cleanup didn't happen when hobbitd last stopped. You can use "ipcrm -m <shmid>" to remove them manually.
If that is not the problem (ie. there are no shared memory segments), then the problem appears to be a ressource limit so hobbit isn't allowed to create a shared memory segment of size 256 KB. You'll have to check your OS documentation on where to configure these limits. Look for "IPC tuning" or "SYSV IPC parameters".

That did the trick. Thank you very much. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the purple hobbitd_client alert :)
