Execution



  • Got this in the error log today. It was not really helpful.

    exec[1742]: Clients have been summarily executed



  • Depends on the clients, really.



  • Ah, figured out why it's failing.

    Apparently all my config files have swapped from Unix line endings to Windows line endings. Not really sure how I managed to do that, but hey, at least it's an easy fix.

    The pesky ones, hopefully.



  • When you instruct gdbserver to kill the debugged process, it prints:

    Killing all inferiors
    

    which is not really appropriate when taken out of context…



  • exec[4007]: Terminating clients with extreme prejudice

    Well that escalated quickly.



  • exec[666] I am here

    If you get that, run. Don't walk.



  • Would you prefer "killing all children" ?



  • Evil ideas thread is πŸ”€ that way.

    But did you fix the reading of the config files or preserve the WTF by updating the line endings?



  • +5 points if the client execution process involves a double-tap protocol.



  • Wife reading over my shoulder. We both couldn't help laughing out loud (yes, real "LOL" event). Hard.

    Hmm...that looks like a useful little utility.

    They don't pay me enough, and could not afford to pay me enough, to dig into the giant pile of fail that is the config file loading code.

    Besides, it's running on Linux, it's OK if it's a Unix file ending.

    cat

    useless use of cat. you could just end with that last sed command and it would work just as well.

    actually you could rewrite as:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    sed -e "s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/application1/g" \
        -e "s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/app1_subapp1/g" \
        -e "s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/app1_subapp2/g" \
        -e "s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/inhouse_logger/g"
    
    

    and get the same result with 4 fewer processes (also probably faster because the data doesn't have to be streamed through all 5 processes, that's slow!



  • Or as

    #!/bin/bash
    
    sed "
      s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/application1/g;
      s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/app1_subapp1/g;
      s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/app1_subapp2/g;
      s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/inhouse_logger/g;
    "
    

    Or if you like it really fancy (and confusing)

    #!/usr/bin/sed -f
    
    s/β–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆβ–ˆ/application1/g;

    I like that one. i forgot that SED could be invoked like that.

    will have to remember that.

    Actually, to me, that's not quite as confusing, and actually useful to me because I use something similar for compilations at work, however I'll have to do a bit of reading to make sure I can deal with environment variables...

    And use colmake instead of make for colorized output plus full logs for stdout, stderr and stdout+stderr . Yes, I know there are programs that can do that out there but couldnt find anything to to what I wanted at the time. Quite what that was at the time I can't remember now...
