Description Lubos Trilety 2012-05-17 15:13:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
If the script used in MACHINE_RESOURCE_INVENTORY_railgun = /path/to/script.sh never ends it blocks startd completely, because there's no time out.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
condor-7.6.8-0.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put 'MACHINE_RESOURCE_INVENTORY_railgun = /path/to/script.sh' to config
where script.sh looks like

#!/bin/sh
echo "DetectedRailgun = 8
while true; do sleep 1; done

2. start condor
  
Actual results:
No error message in logs and startd waits until the script ends.

Expected results:
Startd prints some error message and eventually ends
