Fixed in lsof-4.89-2.fc24 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=12015412 Thanks for the report. that change was shortminded, you break every script using a absolute path /sbin versus /bin is not about admin/non-admin - it was about static/non-static in case of /usr is a different filesystem that /root and /sbin which may not be mounted anyways, /usr/sbin is in the PATH of everyone for years now and when it's not in some cases then these are bugs and needs to be fixed [root@buildserver:~]$ distribute-needs-restart.sh Rufe Kommando '/usr/sbin/lsof | grep DEL | grep /usr' auf allen Maschinen auf arrakis bash: /usr/sbin/lsof: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden -------------------------------------------------------------------------- caladan bash: /usr/sbin/lsof: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden -------------------------------------------------------------------------- thebe bash: /usr/sbin/lsof: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden I am sorry but /sbin have nothing to do with static/non-static binaries and definitely nothing to so with the split root case. I am sure you can do your own search but here it is anyway: http://www.linfo.org/sbin.html Besides [/usr]/sbin maybe is in the PATH for years but only when you have login shell. Thats not the case when you are executing something as non-root before login or in crontab. I would also argue that scripts that are using absolute paths to non-core utils are broken. So better fix the scripts. as said: then you better have written bugreports for the pieces with the wrong PATH, on the over 30 systems i am responsible for that's fixed in /etc/crontab, /etc/anacrontab and so on for years and be it only to get the stupidity of "/bin:/usr/bin" which remained way too long after UsrMove away Harald, I'm sorry for your broken scripts, but when working on this issue, the main reason why I did the switch was that other major distros (debian, arch, gentoo, suse), all have /usr/bin/lsof, so it did make sense to "align". Are the scripts your own, or is there a package which needs to be updated? peter own scripts, and that's the problem when you are working on a operating system - it's not a isolated world and it's whole purpose of existing is to run users code and applications and not olny to serve distribution packages right the reason for using absolute paths is security and stability because you don't get trapped when some idiot has a shellscript with the same name in /usr/local/bin or even in his *writeable* homedirectory placed there by arbitary code and so you can be sure you are wroking with the correct command frankly, such arbitary changes should install a symlink in the old location |
