Description Rodrigo A B Freire 2009-10-01 20:42:00 UTC

If your system locale environment date syntax is different from en_US, your agent will return on its startup message:
RHQ 1.3.0.GA [5192] (null) 
instead of
RHQ 1.3.0.GA [5192] (Thu Sep 17 13:17:28 BRT 2009) 
(or other timezone-derived date/time)

This behaviour is also noticed on previous JON agents.

The workaround to get rid of the wrong message is start JON agent with an language prefix
LANG=en_US ./rhq-agent-wrapper.sh start

Temporarily adding the keyword "SubBug" so we can be sure we have accounted for all the bugs.

keyword:
new = Tracking + FutureFeature + SubBug

Answer the following questions to setup this RHQ Agent instance.
- After each prompt, a default value will appear in square brackets.
  If you press the ENTER key without providing any value,
  the new preference value will be set to that default value.
- If you wish to rely on the system internal default value and
  not define any preference value, enter '!*'.
- If you wish to stop before finishing all the questions but still
  retain those preferences you already set, enter '!+'.
- If you wish to cancel before finishing all the questions and revert
  all preferences back to their original values, enter '!-'.
- If you need help for a particular preference, enter '!?'.
