ubic-watchdog - environment bug

[David Djurberg]

Hi,

Just tried out Ubic and it looks promising. I did however get some problems starting the watchdog from crontab.

Checking the watchdog.log it stated:

Failed to revive ubic.watchdog: not running

Since I managed to start the watchdog when logged in through a terminal I started to suspect environment problems.

I opened the source-code for ubic-watchdog 1.58 to check if it did anything with the environment, and here's what I found:

unless (grep { $_ eq '/usr/local/bin' } split /:/, $ENV{PATH}) { $ENV{PATH} .= "/usr/local/bin:$ENV{PATH}"; }

It seems to me that the concatenation is wrong, shouldn't it be:

$ENV{PATH} = "/usr/local/bin:$ENV{PATH}";

giving me:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

instead of:
$ENV{PATH} .= "/usr/local/bin:$ENV{PATH}";

giving me:
/usr/bin:/bin/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin


So I changed my local source-code and ubic-wathchdog started as normal.

Hi!

Thanks, this was a very stupid bug.

I fixed it and uploaded 1.58_01 to CPAN.

I tried to make an update from CPAN today, but still got version 1.58 with the ENV bug.

Is there any way to add 1.58.01 as the current release or add a 1.58.01.tar.gz file so I can choose which version I want to download.
Then I could just do:
cpan> install MMCLERIC/Ubic-1.58.01.tar.gz
