Agent not able to found the sshpass

[aggmo01]

Hello All,

 

I am using the run command line action running the following command 

sshpass -p '*****' sftp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [e-mail]:/ops/home/ops/aokops/targetdir </tmp/folder.txt

In one of environment where the agent is running as user velfac7 the command is running fine giving the expected result. But in the other environment the same command is failing with the output as 

sshpass:Failed to run command:No such file or directory

in the above environment the agent is running as root .

 

Any clue what could be the reason for not finding the sshpass command in the second environment ???

Hey Mohit,

 

What is the absolute path to the sshpass command in the second environment('whereis sshpass' .. or 'which sshpass') should reveal this.

 

I would imagine it is likely in the $PATH env variable set by root(or global) profile, however the agent may not inherit all these.  If you could do the following test real quick in the second/non-working environment:

 

1. Create another process with a run command line action

2. set the command to run as:  echo $PATH

 

If you compare the output from both agents do you get different results(one with sshpass in the environment PATH var)?

 

 

Let me know if you have any questions, thanks.

I forgot to add as well -- if you provide the second agent the full path to sshpass in the run command line action, eg;

 

/usr/bin/sshpass -p '*****' sftp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [e-mail]:/ops/home/ops/aokops/targetdir </tmp/folder.txt

 

assuming the above is the correct path, does it exec properly?

Hello Nelson,

 

I have added the absolute path to the sshpass binary. i.e. The command is

/usr/bin/sshpass -p '*****' sftp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [e-mail]:/ops/home/ops/aokops/targetdir </tmp/folder.txt

 

But it is still giving the same error

Std Err Output

sshpass: Failed to run command: No such file or directory

Hi Mohit,

To find out if the problem is RA related, try running the command manually (outside RA). Does it give you the same error while being logged on as the user under which it fails within RA context?

Hello Leo,

 

I have already tried that, when we run manually everything works fine.We have run the command with the same user with which the Nolio agent is running.

Maybe you need to do a 'which sftp' and provide the path to it in your command too. I did some google searches on this message and it seems like it can be related to either not finding the sshpass binary or ssh, sftp, rsync, etc..

Hello All,

 

I am able to resolve the issue by restarting the Agent service.  After the SSHPASS is installed , the agent service was not restarted so it was not able to locate the sshpass.
