Description James M. Leddy 2009-06-29 16:26:27 UTC

The collectl wrapper script changes the current working directory, thus making things confusing.  

$ collectl -p file.raw.gz -sJ -oT --from 07:02:40 --thru 07:04:40
Error: can't find 'file.raw.gz'
type 'collectl -h' for help
$ collectl -p $(pwd)/file.raw.gz -sJ -oT --from 07:02:40 --thru 07:04:40

etc...



$ cat $(which collectl)
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/libexec/collectl
exec /usr/bin/perl collectl.pl $@


I'm wondering if it's strictly necessary to change directory.  Do the perl scripts require you to be _in_ /uer/libexec/collectl in order to execute them?  In this particular case I was able to run the perl script without a problem w/o changing directory.

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2009-06-29 17:51:49 UTC

Probably it was required in the past, now the modules are loaded with absolute path, where the dirname part is taken from the path of the main script. I will replace the startup script with a symlink pointing to /usr/libexec/collectl/collectl.pl as upstream is doing.
