Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /opt/perl..

Question

Dear guys,

getting this error when executing agent at HP-UX 11.31

dc1hbkp:/tmp# /opt/perl/bin/ocsinventory-agent
Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at /opt/perl_32/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Ocsinventory/Agent/Backend.pm line 33.
dc1hbkp:/tmp#

I have extracted the part of /opt/perl_32/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Ocsinventory/Agent/Backend.pm containing line 33

    30
    31        my $calling_namespace = caller(0);
    32        chomp(my $binpath=`which $binary 2>/dev/null`);
    33        return unless -x $binpath;
    34        $self->{logger}->debug(" - $binary found");
    35        1
    36      },

Hi,

Post ocsinventory-agent.log content.

Answer 2

I have the same problem on Solaris.  Reason is that the standard Solaris /usr/bin/which command does not accept blanks in arguments.  The line "return $common->can_run('/Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/vmrun')" in VmWareDesktop.pm causes the error.  It appears that the /usr/bin/which command on Linux is not affected.

Question to developers: can I just put "return $common->can_run('vmrun')" in VmWareDesktop.pm ?
