I am attempting to get Phabricator running on Solaris over apache. The website is working, but all of the cli scripts are not. For example, phd.
The first problem, is that it is not passing arguments to the underling manage-daemons.php script that it invokes. Looking at the phd file, this does not surprise me:
$> cat phd
../scripts/daemon/manage_daemons.php
Now, given my default shell is bash, this isn't going to pass-through my arguments. To do this, I have modified the script:
#! /bin/bash
../scripts/daemon/manage_daemons.php $*
This will now pass-through the arguments, but it's now failing to find transative scripts it requires via relative path:
./phd start
Preparing to launch daemons.
NOTE: Logs will appear in '/var/tmp/phd/log/daemons.log'.

Now, obviously I shouldn't be modifying these scripts. This is an indication that some prerequisite is not set up properly.
It's clear to me that Phabricator is making some (bold) assumption about my setup. But I'm not quite sure what...?
These are supposed to be symlinks. For example, if you look at "phd" in the repository on GitHub, you can see that the file type is "symbolic link":
https://github.com/facebook/phabricator/blob/master/bin/phd
Something in your environment is incorrectly turning the symlinks into normal files. I'm not aware of any Git configuration which can cause this, although it's possible there is something. One situation where I've seen this happen is when a working copy was cloned, then copied using something like rsync without appropriate flags to preserve symlinks.

When running R CMD check I get the following note:
checking for future file timestamps ... NOTE
unable to verify current time
I have seen this discussed here, but I am not sure which files it is checking for timestamps, so I'm not sure which files I should look at. This happens locally on my windows and remotely on different systems (using github actions).
Take a look at https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/tools/R/check.R
The check command relies on an external web resource:
now <- tryCatch({
foo <- suppressWarnings(readLines("http://worldclockapi.com/api/json/utc/now",
warn = FALSE))
This resource http://worldclockapi.com/ is currently not available.
Hence the following happens (see same package source):
if (is.na(now)) {
any <- TRUE
noteLog(Log, "unable to verify current time")
See also references:
https://community.rstudio.com/t/r-devel-r-cmd-check-failing-because-of-time-unable-to-verify-current-time/25589
So, unfortunately this requires a fix in the check function by the R development team ... or the web-resource coming online again.
To add to qasta's answer, you can silence this check by setting the _R_CHECK_SYSTEM_CLOCK_ environment variable to zero e.g Sys.setenv('_R_CHECK_SYSTEM_CLOCK_' = 0)
To silence this in a persistent manner, you can set this environment variable on R startup. One way to do so is through the .Renviron file, in the following manner:
install.packages("usethis") (If not installed already)
usethis::edit_r_environ()
Add _R_CHECK_SYSTEM_CLOCK_=0 to the file
Save, close file, restart R
I am doing the Pintos project on the side to learn more about operating systems. I had tons of devops trouble at first with it not running well on an 18.04 Ubuntu droplet. I am now running it on the VirtualBox image that UCCS tells students to download for pintos.
I finished project 1 and started to map out my solution to project 2. Following the instructions to create a file I ran
pintos-mkdisk filesys.dsk --filesys-size=2
pintos -- -f -q
but am getting error
Kernel PANIC at ../../threads/vaddr.h:87 in vtop(): assertion
`is_kernel_vaddr (vaddr)' failed.
I then tried running make check (all the tests). They are all failing for the same reason.
Am I missing something? Is there something I need to implement to fix this? I reread the instructions and didnt see anything?
Would appreciate help!
Thanks
I had a similar problem. My code for Project 1 ran fine, but I could not format the filesystem for Project 2.
The failure for me came from the following call chain:
thread_init() -> ... -> thread_schedule_tail() -> process_activate() -> pagedir_activate() -> vtop()
The problem is that init_page_dir is still NULL when pagedir_activate() is called. init_page_dir should have been initialized in paging_init() but this is called after thread_init().
The root cause was that my scheduler was being called too early, i.e. before the call to thread_start(). The reason for my problem was that I had built in a call to thread_yield() upon completion of every call to lock_release() which makes sense from a priority donation standpoint. Unfortunately, locks are used prior to the scheduler being ready! To fix this, I installed a flag called threading_started that bails in the first line of my thread_block() and thread_yield() functions if thread_start() has not yet been called.
Good luck!
So I am looking at my professor's code that he handed out to try and give us an idea of how to implement >, <, | support into our unix shell. I ran his code and was amazed at what actually happened.
if( pid == 0 )
{
close(1); // close
fd = creat( "userlist", 0644 ); // then open
execlp( "who", "who", NULL ); // and run
perror( "execlp" );
exit(1);
}
This created a userlist file in the directory I was currently in, with the "who" data inside that file. I don't see where any connection between fd, and execlp are being made. How did execlp manage to put the information into userlist? How did execlp even know userlist existed?
Read Advanced Linux Programming. It has several chapters related to the issue. And we cannot explain all this in a few sentences. See also the standard stream and process wikipages.
First, all the system calls (see syscalls(2) for a list, and read the documentation of every individual system call that you are using) your program is doing should be tested against failure. But assume they all succeed. After close(1); the file descriptor 1 (STDOUT_FILENO) is free. So creat("userlist",0644) is likely to re-use it, hence fd is 1; you have redirected your stdout to the newline created userlist file.
At last, you are calling execlp(3) which will call execve(2). When successful, your entire process is restarted with the new executable (so a fresh virtual address space is given to it), and its stdout is still the userlist file descriptor. In particular (unless execve fails) the perror call is not reached.
So your code is a bit what a shell running who > userlist is doing; it does a redirection of stdout to userlist and runs the who command.
If you are coding a shell, use strace(1) -notably with -f option- to understand what system calls are done. Try also strace -f /bin/sh -c ls to look into the behavior of a shell. Study also the source code of existing free software shells (e.g. bash and sash).
See also this and the references I gave there.
execlp knowns nothing. Before execing stdout was closed and a file opened, so the descriptor is the one corresponding to stdout (opens always returns the lowest free descriptor). At that point the process has an "stdout" plugged to the file. Then exec is called and this replaces to whole address space, but some properties remains as the descriptors, so know the code of who is executed with an stdout that correspond to the file. This is the way redirections are managed by shells.
Remember that when you use printf (for example) you never specify what stdout exactly is... That can be a file, a terminal, etc.
Basile Starynkevitch correctly explained:
After close(1); the file descriptor 1 (STDOUT_FILENO) is free. So creat("userlist",0644) is likely to re-use it…
This is because, as Jean-Baptiste Yunès wrote, "opens always returns the lowest free descriptor".
It should be stressed that the professor's code only likely works; it fails if file descriptor 0 is closed.
Can anyone help me translate the instructions for setting this up as a Linux Service (at http://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/3.0/reference/install.html#service-linux) into English?
After following them as best I could, I get the following when starting the service:
su: user / does not exist
Here are the parts of the instructions which were unclear:
In the bin/nexus script remove the line below.
INSTALL4J_JAVA_PREFIX="su - $run_as_user -c"
The line in the file is actually
INSTALL4J_JAVA_PREFIX=""
but ok, I can remove that. However, the next instruction is:
Replace the entire link with this line:
exec su - $run_as_user "$prg_dir/$progname" $#
What is meant by "the entire link"? The thing I removed above? That was the first line in the file - therefore the three variables above have not yet been set.... and is probably the reason the script currently fails.
I'll get the book fixed, it shouldn't have this in it anymore.
Download the 3.0 release, this was just a bug in 3.0m7, and it has been fixed. You don't need to make these changes.
https://support.sonatype.com/hc/en-us/articles/217965118
The only things you need to do is edit $NEXUS_HOME/bin/nexus.rc, uncomment the run_as_user line, and set the value for it appropriately. Then just symlink $NEXUS_HOME/bin/nexus to /etc/init.d/nexus, and after that run chkconfig or update-rc.d depending on your Linux version.
I need some Powershell advice.
I need to install an application's MSP update file on multiple Win08r2 servers. If I run these commands locally, within the target machine's PS window, it does exactly what I want it to:
$command = 'msiexec.exe /p "c:\test\My Application Update 01.msp" REBOOTPROMPT=S /qb!'
invoke-wmimethod -path win32_process -name create -argumentlist $command
The file being executed is located on the target machine
If I remotely connect to the machine, and execute the two commands, it opens two x64 msiexec.exe process, and one msiexec.exe *32 process, and just sits there.
If I restart the server, it doesn't show that the update was installed, so I don't think it's a timing thing.
I've tried creating and remotely executing a PS1 file with the two lines, but that seems to do the same thing.
If anyone has advice on getting my MSP update installed remotely, I'd be all ears.
I think I've included all the information I have, but if something is missing, please ask questions, and I'll fill in any blanks.

My process for this is:
Read a CSV for server name and Administrator password
Create a credential with the password
Create a new session using the machine name and credential
Create a temporary folder to hold my update MSP file
Call a PS1 file that downloads the update file to the target server
>>> Creates a new System.Net.WebClient object
>>> Uses that web client object to download from the source to the location on the target server
Call another PS1 file that applies the patch that was just downloaded –>> This is where I’m having issues.
>>> Set the variable shown above
>>> Execute the file specified in the variable
Close the session to the target server
Move to the next server in the CSV…
If I open a PS window and manually set the variable, then execute it (as shown above in the two lines of code), it works fine. If I create a PS1 file on the target server, containing the same two lines of code, then right click > ‘Run With PowerShell’ it works as expected / desired. If I remotely execute my code in PowerGUI, it returns a block of text that looks like this, then just sits there. RDP’d into the server, the installer never launches. My understanding of the “Return Value” value is that “0″ means the command was successful.
PSComputerName : xx.xx.xx.xx
RunspaceId : bf6f4a39-2338-4996-b75b-bjf5ef01ecaa
PSShowComputerName : True
__GENUS : 2
__CLASS : __PARAMETERS
__SUPERCLASS :
__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 2
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
ProcessId : 4808
ReturnValue : 0
I even added a line of code between the variable and the execution that creates a text file on the desktop, just to verify I was getting into my ‘executeFile’ file, and that text file does get created. It seems that it’s just not remotely executing my MSP.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Here's the strategy I used to embed an msp into a powershell script. It works perfectly for me.
$file = "z:\software\AcrobatUpdate.msp"
$silentArgs = "/passive"
$additionalInstallArgs = ""
Write-Debug "Running msiexec.exe /update $file $silentArgs"
$msiArgs = "/update `"$file`""
$msiArgs = "$msiArgs $silentArgs $additionalInstallArgs"
Start-Process -FilePath msiexec -ArgumentList $msiArgs -Wait
You probably don't need to use the variables if you don't want to, you could hardcode the values. I have this set up as a function to which I pass those arguments, but if this is more of a one-shot deal, it might be easier to hard-code the values.
Hope that helps!
using Start-Process for MSP package is not a good practice because some update package lockdown powershell libs and so you must use WMI call
