Seeing errors related to Unix (*NIX) app's interfaces.sh

asleeis — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 01:45:10 GMT

Anyone know what this is? When I run the interfaces.sh script manually, I do not get any errors. But I'm seeing current and regular errors when looking at the "_internal" index for "ERROR" log_level.

"could not lookup DNS configuration info service: (ipc/send) invalid destination port"

That's the error message... pretty much 2 every minute.

Anyone know what this is and how to stop it. I don't know what this may be affecting in the reports, etc. But things seem to work. Not entirely sure. But I don't like seeing errors in stuff.

Thanks, -Alex

Alex, please file a support issue, and provide the following information:

UNIX flavor (little birdie tells me it's Mac OS X), and version (on Mac, find with sw_vers).
does error happen if you run script in background? in background in a loop? I.e., for dummy in /usr/bin/*; do /v-p4/current/cfg/bundles/unix/bin/interfaces.sh; done &
run script with --debug option; a file like debug--interfaces.sh--Fri_Jan__7_16-08-14_PST_2011 will appear in directory where script is found. Please attach this file.
tell them to assign issue to Vainstein

Thank you.

Did anyone move past this? I'm on Mac OSX Server 10.6.8 and having the same exact problem as described above.
