So I can reproduce this pretty steadily now and running the shell script outside of func works. Here is the shell script: #!/bin/sh crash /cores/processed/123/vmcore.zcarv033 /cores/processed/123/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.9-55.ELsmp/vmlinux -i /cores/processed/123/crash.in -s The bit of code that runs this shell script if serverList.has_key(debugKernelArch): # TODO: Randomize server selection casProcessMachine = serverList[debugKernelArch][0] cprint("Machine %s found, processing crash output" % (casProcessMachine,)) cmd = os.path.join(self.storagePath,"crash") client = fc.Overlord(casProcessMachine) client_dict = client.command.run(cmd) Once this runs crash will process the input file which looks like: [root@test-2 123]# cat crash.in bt -a >>/cores/processed/123/crash.out sys >>/cores/processed/123/crash.out sys -c >>/cores/processed/123/crash.out log >>/cores/processed/123/crash.out mod >>/cores/processed/123/crash.out exit Now the traceback that comes up when running all this through func is : [.cas.] :: Starting job at /cores/processed/123 on file /cores/processed/123/vmcore.zcarv033 [.cas.] :: Corefile prepared, processing /cores/processed/123/vmcore.zcarv033 [.cas.] :: Running timestamp [.cas.] :: Timestamp found #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 16:36:54 EDT 2007 [.cas.] :: Extracting debug kernel with filter */usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.9-55.ELsmp/vmlinux [.cas.] :: Crash file built, locating suitable x86_64 system for processing [.cas.] :: Machine megatron.gsslab.rdu.redhat.com found, processing crash output Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/cas", line 205, in ? sys.exit(app.run()) File "/usr/bin/cas", line 168, in run print client.command.run(cmd) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/func/overlord/client.py", line 71, in __call__ return self.clientref.run(module,method,args,nforks=self.nforks) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/func/overlord/client.py", line 303, in run return self.run_direct(module, method, args, nforks) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/func/overlord/client.py", line 463, in run_direct (nkey,nvalue) = process_server(0, 0, x) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/func/overlord/client.py", line 424, in process_server retval = utils.nice_exception(t,v,tb) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/certmaster/utils.py", line 63, in nice_exception lefti = etype.index("'") + 1 ValueError: substring not found any ideas on this? thanks! -- __ __ .-----.| |_.-----.| |--.-----.-----. |__ --|| _| _ || <| -__|__ --| |_____||____|_____||__|__|_____|_____| .----------------------------------.
