Package: atop Version: 1.23-1 Severity: normal The program atop has a problem at startup that has been for years. Immediately after issuing the atop command it prints two message lines, then waits ten seconds and finally starts working normally. Example: $ atop open account-file: Permission denied warning: no process exit detection!
If I have a a look at the directory /tmp/atop.d I can see that it isn't readable for unprivileged users: drwx------ 2 root root 4096 20 jan 13.20 /tmp/atop.d/ I've seen it on all debian machines I've used, several different machines, several versions of Debian and also Ubuntu 9.04. One workaround I use is this: $ grep tmp/atop /etc/rc.local [ -d /tmp/atop.d ] && chmod a+rx /tmp/atop.d [ -e /tmp/atop.d/atop.acct ] && chmod a+r /tmp/atop.d/atop.acct It makes atop work as it should after boot. The problem comes back when anacron has restarted the atop daemon. Anyway -- atop is great. I use it a lot. /Leif Hornsved -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages atop depends on: ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090803-1+b1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii logrotate 3.7.8-4 Log rotation utility ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime atop recommends no packages. atop suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
