Public bug reported: Binary package hint: icecc
1) ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 2) ~$ apt-cache policy icecc icecc: Installed: 0.9.5-2 Candidate: 0.9.5-2 Version table: *** 0.9.5-2 0 500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected: The log output at /var/log/iceccd.log file when iceccd is launched 4) What happened instead? There is no log file 5) Probing: In the /etc/init.d/icecc we have: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- \ -d "$logfile" $nice $scheduler $netname -u icecc $basedir $maxjobs and $logfile is "-l /var/log/iceccd.log". Note that there is a "" around $logfile variable. When stracing the init script execution, we got the following relevant output: [pid 30944] execve("/sbin/start-stop-daemon", ["start-stop-daemon", "--start", "--quiet", "--exec", "/usr/sbin/iceccd", "--", "-vvv", "-d", "-l /var/log/iceccd.log", "--nice", "5", "-n", "openbossa", "-u", "icecc", "-b", ...], [/* 17 vars */]) = 0 (...) [pid 30944] execve("/usr/sbin/iceccd", ["/usr/sbin/iceccd", "-vvv", "-d", "-l /var/log/iceccd.log", "--nice", "5", "-n", "openbossa", "-u", "icecc", "-b", "/var/cache/icecc"], [/* 17 vars */]) = 0 (...) [pid 30944] open(" /var/log/iceccd.log", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 6) Solution: Removing the "" around $logfile solves the issue. I just don't know why only $logfile variable is embraced by quotes. If there is a reason, other solution must be applied. ** Affects: icecc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697788 Title: No log output when launching iceccd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
