Problem with request script in SWASK or SWINSTALL

[Nagendar]

Hi,

To start with, I have a simple request script, which reads a variabe from user. Just to add, my depot is in defaulr dir i.e, /var/spool/sw.

I am getting the following error.

# swask -s /var/spool/sw \*

======= 12/18/02 14:38:24 MST BEGIN swask SESSION (non-interactive)

* Session started for user "root@lothar".

* Beginning Selection
* Target connection succeeded for "lothar:/".
* Source connection succeeded for "lothar:/var/spool/sw".
* Software bin has a "request" script. It will be executed and
corresponding "response" file will be generated.

Inside request script ... ... ...
Please enter the name
test
* Ask task succeeded.

ERROR: File "/var/tmp/BAAa24520/catalog/IFS/bin/response": No such
file or directory (2). Cannot copy it to file
"/var/spool/sw/catalog/IFS/bin/response".

======= 12/18/02 14:38:27 MST END swask SESSION (non-interactive)


Please help!

With best regards,
Nagendar

Are you running this as root? What are the permissions on the file and the directories that lead to it? Does another process have a the file locked (fuser to check that)? What are the permissions on the target directories? Are all the directories in the path there--the copy won't create them.

Does /var/tmp/BAAa24520/catalog/IFS/bin exist?

Mark,

I am running as a root only. So, any permission problem should not arise. There is something else going wrong. Also, response of that will be created in DEFAULT_DIR (/var/spool/sw) direwctory only. I am not doing swcopy, instead I am running swask as part of swinstall. MY depot is in DEFAULT_DIR.


Pete,

/var/tmp/BAAa24520/catalog/IFS/bin is a temporary directory, which swask itself creates while in process.


Any clues now?
Regards,
Nagendar

Hi,

Do you have more than one network card? If yes, try enabling all of them.
I had to enable all of them to be able to install software on our computers, if not I got some strange errors.
