Linux agent 21.0.13 vs 24.4.1HF2

[Thierry Verreyt]

Hi All,

Here's my scenario:

Automic Engine is in version 24.4.1HF2.

I installed two agents on the same Linux server.

The first agent is in version 21.0.13+build.1737024988470

The second is in version 24.4.1+build.1750766795114

Both agents are launched with the uc4 user via Service Manager.

 

I run the same job on each agent with the root login.

 

In the first case, the agent in version 21.0.13 gives me this environment.

 

USER: root

 

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

USER=root

PWD=/root

HOME=/root

SHELL=/usr/bin/bash

SHLVL=2

LOGNAME=root

PATH=/opt/Automic/java/current//bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:.:/opt/Automic/server/bin:/opt/Automic/smgr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

_=/usr/bin/env

/root

 

in the second case, the agent in version 24.4.1 gives me this environment:

USER: root

 

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

OLDPWD=/

INVOCATION_ID=714d7e089c8d435699207ceb87ffa770

JAVA_HOME=/opt/Automic/java/current/

USER=uc4

SMGR=/opt/Automic/smgr

UC4_SMGR_PROCESS_NAME_INCREASE_INITIATED=TRUE

PWD=/root

HOME=/home/uc4

JOURNAL_STREAM=9:26796

CAPKIHOME=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/CAPKI

UTILITY=/opt/Automi c/Utility

SHELL=/bin/bash

AUTOMIC=/opt/Automic/server

SHLVL=3

UC4=/opt/Automic

LOGNAME=uc4

PATH=/opt/Automic/java/current//bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:.:/opt/Automic/server/bin:/opt/Automic/smgr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

_=/usr/bin/env

/home/uc4

 

The problem is that I use environment variables in some scripts, such as cd ~/.ssh

 

Since the environment isn't the same, the script fails.

 

Could this be another bug with Agent 24.4.1HF2? Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for your help

Hi Thierry,

I've raised a ticket for the same issue with the AIX agent. It's not reading the .profile into the current environment - so the settings are not being updated. This also breaks pretty all our scripts that depend on environmental variables.

But yes - I would raise a ticket - you have a very clear example of the same issue.

Hi,

I'm curious about the file permissions in both versions. Can you share them?

 

agent\

ls -lart

agent\linux

ls -lart

agent\linux\bin

ls -lart

thanks.

I didn't see any irregularities. You should report the issue to support and get a result.
