hi everyone -
i don't check it very often, but today i watched the entries in cgpsa.err
fly by for a bit (i redirect stdout). as i watched, several lines went
by saying "sh: su: command not found" - which naturally got my attention.
Understandable.
the messages are ongoing, but have a clear beginning point in the
cgpsa.err file. there's no date/time entry associated with anything in
that file, so i can't pinpoint when it started, but it's clearly new.
soo…i'm at a loss as to where i should even look to find what part of
the equation might be looking for root - does anyone have any ideas where
i might start? i can't come up with any legitimate reason for this to be
happening, obviously, so i'd like to get to the bottom of it.
Well, cgpsa as shipped definitely does not execute any shell commands, never mind an "su"; it does spawn additional perl processes if you're running it multithreaded, but that's done with fork().
It sounds to me like maybe your copy of cgpsa has been altered in some way. Either that, or some other process is also dumping logs to cgpsa.err for some reason.
