Hi,
I have a a device setup with a generic device template - I have specified a command line exec for it called fred.
I have put fred in /usr/pluto/bin. The permission is set to x and owned by root. fred is currently setup as a shell
script that takes a host and device id as arguments.
I was expecting my fred exec to be launched when I do a router reload. Is this correct ?
In essence, I am not seeing fred being called at all and I am not sure where to look to figure out why this exec
is not being invoked.
I am running 810 alpha 2.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks !!
Have you done the most recent updates from the weekly builds?
In the last couple of builds (last couple of weeks) - launch_manager is now running which should start your exec if it is specifically named in the database (otherwise it looks for a binary of device_name with spaces replaced with underscores) - though to be honest I haven't thoroughly tested the custom binary name execution part just yet (though I fully expect it to work)
First lets make sure you have the latest weekly build updates by running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If it still fails to launch after you are sure you are at the latest build, please post back here as I have interest in making sure it works correctly.
Hi Jon,
Thanks for the reply. I'll update my installation and restart and give it another shot...
Do I need to do a pluto db update as well ?
I'll keep you posted.
Hi Jon,
Worked like a champ !! Thanks for the info and the contributions !!
