 |
|
Hi, my sysctl is behaving strange: If i want to access an key, which isn't there, sysctl stucks in an endless loop:
| Code: |
sudo LANG= sysctl kern.cp_time
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/kern/cp_time: No such file or directory
sysctl: "cannot stat %s" is an unknown key
sysctl: permission denied on key 'cannot stat %s'
sysctl: permission denied on key 'cannot stat %s'
sysctl: permission denied on key 'cannot stat %s'
sysctl: permission denied on key 'cannot stat %s'
sysctl: permission denied on key 'cannot stat %s'
sysctl: permission denied on key 'cannot stat %s'
.

Strange as it is, this only happens on my desktop, not on my laptop (both use sys-process/procps-3.3.2_p2-r1), so I don't think it's a bug.
I encountered this problem, when trying to install collectd, as the configure script calls "sysctl kern.cp_time", which isn't there, but sysctl doesn't return, so the configure script can't continue.
I'm a little bit helpless, how to track this down, so anybody can help me here?
Greetings
