Hi all, What I am reporting here, was tested on -stable and on -current. Below details are from -stable, because I discovered it first there and have the notes from that machine.
One of my OpenBSD 7.4 machines, because of package unrelated to salt, had py3-setproctitle installed on that machine and that resuled in following problem: ks3# rcctl check salt_minion salt_minion(failed) It seems that pexp from /etc/rc.d/salt_minion doesn't match the process when salt minion is started with py3-setproctitle package available. Here are more details: ks3# sysctl -n kern.version OpenBSD 7.4 (GENERIC.MP) #0: Sun Oct 22 12:13:42 MDT 2023 r...@syspatch-74-amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP ks3# cat /etc/installurl https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ ks3# pkg_info -qI salt salt-3006.3 No py3-setproctitle installed: ks3# ls -1 /var/db/pkg/ | grep -ci proc 0 ks3# pkg_add -a -i py3-setproctitle quirks-6.160 signed on 2023-11-19T13:55:25Z py3-setproctitle-1.3.2p1: ok ks3# rcctl restart salt_minion salt_minion(ok) salt_minion(ok) ks3# pgrep -lf salt 8102 python3.10: /usr/local/bin/python3.10 /usr/local/bin/salt-minion -d MainProcess ks3# rcctl check salt_minion salt_minion(failed) If we wait for random_startup_delay: ks3# grep -e ^random_startup_delay /etc/salt/minion random_startup_delay: 180 then proc title changes again: ks3# pgrep -lf salt 8102 python3.10: /usr/local/bin/python3.10 /usr/local/bin/salt-minion -d MultiMinionProcessManager MinionProcessManager ks3# pkg_delete -c py3-setproctitle py3-setproctitle-1.3.2p1: ok Read shared items: ok ks3# rcctl restart salt_minion salt_minion(ok) ks3# pgrep -lf salt 78929 /usr/local/bin/python3.10 /usr/local/bin/salt-minion -d 8102 python3.10: /usr/local/bin/python3.10 /usr/local/bin/salt-minion -d MultiMinionProcessManager MinionProcessManager We see above orphaned previous instance of salt-minion which had setproctitle loaded. ks3# kill 8102 ks3# pgrep -lf salt 78929 /usr/local/bin/python3.10 /usr/local/bin/salt-minion -d ks3# rcctl check salt_minion salt_minion(ok) -- Regards, Mikolaj
