Re: No email output - cfengine-2.1.14

[David E. Nelson]

Hi Dmitry,

This was originally titled for RH-AS but since upgrading my Solaris from 2.1.11 
to 2.1.14 it now also applies.

You are correct in that cfexecd is responsible to sending the email.  So now 
I'm looking at/into cfexecd just not sure what to look for/at.  As I mentioned 
earlier, 2.1.11 used to email without any problems so the configs should be 
correct for 2.1.14.

Question: Will cfexecd still email if run from cron using '-F'?  Or is it the 
admin's responsibility to redirect the output and email?

Also, I was browsing the cfexecd src code (2.1.14) and noticed the following 
"bug":

 if (strlen(MAILFROM) == 0)
    {
    sprintf(VBUFF,"From: cfengine@%s\r\n",VFQNAME);
    Debug("%s",VBUFF);
    }
 else
    {
    sprintf(VBUFF,"From: cfengine@%s\r\n",VFQNAME);
    Debug("%s",VBUFF);
    }

Both actions are the same so I'm not sure what is trying to be accomplised here 
(or what isn't being accomplished).

Thanks,
         /\/elson
