hi,

i today stumbled across a problem in the external/rackpdu stonith
plugin:

my outlets are named:

> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "Outlet 1 XL"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.2 = STRING: "b"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.3 = STRING: "m"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.4 = STRING: "Outlet 17 XL"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.5 = STRING: "kxxxxxx xx - vienna1"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.6 = STRING: "l.i.a"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.7 = STRING: "w2"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.8 = STRING: "k"
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.9 = STRING: "i"

rackpdu tries to get the names via snmp and then cycles each array
to check which outlet to shoot:

> local names=`echo "$snmp_result" | cut -f2 -d'"' | tr ' ' '_' | tr '\012' ' '`

basically, this command cuts the string between the two "", replaces
whitespaces with _ and replaces.

i get the following error:
> # stonith -t external/rackpdu hostlist="w2" pduip=pdu.ipax.at community=abc 
> -T reset w2
> local: 280: kxxxxxx_xx_-_vienna1: bad variable name
> external/rackpdu[30287]: ERROR: Outlet number not found for node w2. Result: 
> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.1 = STRING:
> ...
> ...

all in all, i found two problematic lines in my setup which both
generate such an error.
>> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.5 = STRING: "kxxxxxx xx - vienna1"
>> iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.12.3.3.1.1.2.6 = STRING: "l.i.a"


rackpdu uses /bin/sh (which is dash 0.5.5.1-7.4 on debian squeeze).
changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash solves this issue.

upon investigation, i found
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=598239

i changed the offending line:
-local names=`echo "$snmp_result" | cut -f2 -d'"' | tr ' ' '_' | tr
'\012' ' '`
+local names="`echo \"$snmp_result\" | cut -f2 -d'\"' | tr ' ' '_' | tr
'\012' ' '`"

this solves the issue for dash. please find sample scripts attached.

is there any better way to solve this issue?

thanks,
raoul
