ARSLOAD fails when calling exit

[jsquizz]

Heres a weird one, couldnt figure out a better spot to put it..

All my application groups use a custom exit. Not sure what it does, not a C dev, and I dont think theres any left sadly here.

We run a basic ARSLOAD daemon as root..when a file comes in it loads, the exit is called, and everything loads fine.

When I try issuing arsload -nvf -g appgroup filename   <--I get an 88 record indicating the exit couldnt execute. The same thing happens with sudo.

Any thoughts on this? Does my question make sense?

If you've upgraded, the exit needs to be recompiled for the new version of CMOD.

Otherwise, check permissions on the file itself...  Is it executible, etc.

Yeah, perms are good. They are actually 777.

No upgrades..We are on 8.5 and when the daemon loads files it runs with NP..just when I execute manually, so its a pain to load files when testing.

Heh.  777 is bad.  555 is the way to go.  (You generally don't want everyone being able to write to executibles -- they can replace your 'good' code with 'bad' code and run with your authority/permissions.)

As for the issues running interactively...  Maybe you're missing some environment variables, or it's not in your path?

That's what I am thinking. Something with the path, an ldd showed some dependencies..

thanks for the tip on 555, it's always been like that i believe...
