Description:
Apparent packaging problem on our end?

Agent startup script path is not update after installation:

 # /opt/mysql/network/agent/etc/init.d/mysql-service-agent start
/usr/bin/mysql-service-agent does not exist                [FAILED]

# Check for missing binaries (stale symlinks should not happen)
# Note: Special treatment of stop for LSB conformance
MERLIN_AGENT_BIN=/usr/bin/mysql-service-agent

How to repeat:
see above

Still fails with 0.7.20a:

$ /opt/mysql/network/agent/etc/init.d/mysql-service-agent start
/usr/bin/mysql-service-agent does not exist or is not execu[FAILED]
/etc/mysql-service-agent.ini does not exist or is not reada[FAILED]

it looks that 'only' the path replacement has been 'disabled' after 0.7.18 (where I could use the script).

work around:

edit the script and change the pathes in lines ~ 39+40 to the used installation pathes. Change from

MERLIN_AGENT_BIN="/usr/bin/mysql-service-agent"
MERLIN_AGENT_CONFIG="/etc/mysql-service-agent.ini"

e.g. to:

MERLIN_AGENT_BIN="/opt/mysql/network/agent/0.7.20/bin/mysql-service-agent"
MERLIN_AGENT_CONFIG="/opt/mysql/network/agent/0.7.20/etc/mysql-service-agent.ini"

just seen: it looks that the startup script is not the last version which I reviewed with Jan (which has a timestamp Nov 01 in). But there were no changes around the pathes where the replacement now fails.

There are 2 issues here.

1) The incorrect mysql-service-agent is in the svn repository.
2) Bitrock changed a substitution pattern.  Bitrock has been notified.

after installing as a 'simple' user to a non-standard path the script works with 0.7.22:

csegieth@qa-ia64-a:~/mysql/network>agent/0.7.22/rhas3-ia64/qa-ia64-a/etc/init.d/mysql-service-agent stop /users/csegieth/mysql/network/agent/0.7.22/rhas3-ia64/
qa-ia64-a/etc/win2003a-x86.win2003a-x86.3307.ini

64/qa-ia64-a/etc/win2003a-x86.win2003a-x86.3307.ini

csegieth@qa-ia64-a:~/mysql/network>

Further checks with a root install will follow ...

script still shows 'old' timestamp, so the latest fix after the review is missing.

#     last changed:     2006-10-31 22.42

problem still present with 0.7.24, tested on 'qa-ia64-a' (RHEL3_IA64)

Resolved in ver => 7.25

- script now works (with 0.7.25), the path replacement looks OK.
- but the 2nd patch was not part of the build, the script still contains the 3 lines with the invalid char at the beginning (and the old timestamp).

closed as with 0.7.27 also the small path is part of the build.
