Topic: signal-event user-modify $account

[mahesaina]

Hi,

i use smeserver 7.5.1,
and when i execute "signal-event user-modify accountKey" from shell
the exit status is 1.

but when i use server-manager for modify the user,
the report status is success.
Can anyone help me how to modify from shell?

and when i execute "signal-event user-modify accountKey" from shell
the exit status is 1.

Search for '|Status|' in /var/log/messages and you will identify which script or scripts in the user-modify event returned an error status, and you should also see some diagnostic messages as to what the error was.

Dear Charlie,,

i already check my /var/log/messages*, but i found no errors.
if execute directly from shell, no error message.
only occurs when i execute in the background, always give exit status 1.

have any idea?

Thanks.

signal-event user-modify keyaccount &

Thanks.

Don't do that. You should wait until the command completes.

I still get the exit status = 1,
when using the script:

Unless (system ("signal-event user-modify $ keyaccount") == 0) {
     die "exit status 1";
}

Code: [Select]

Unless (system ("signal-event user-modify $ keyaccount") == 0) {
     die "exit status 1";
}

Is the space between the $ and keyaccount the actual code or is that just a typo?

Here you are printing '1' instead of the actual exit status of 'signal-event'. And you have a space between $ and keyaccount. 'unless' is a perl keyword, but 'Unless' is not.

Use instead:

Code: [Select]

die "signal-event returned non-zero" unless (system('signal-event', 'user-modify', '$keyaccount') == 0);

Use either:

'$keyaccount'

or

$keyaccount

depending on whether you wanted variable interpolation or literal '$keyaccount'.

Read 'man perlsec' (or http://perldoc.perl.org/perlsec.html).

Be sure to always check log files when you get an error from signal-event.

I'm bowing out now - this forum isn't intended to be a programming tutorial.
