Description From Andrew Mellanby 2004-08-09 21:53:15

Having had a container runing for over 24hours, I then tried to stop the
container using the renewed proxy certificate and got a null pointer exception
from the globus-stop-container command
There were absolutely NO errors on the container side .. only in the window
where I ran the globus-stop-container command. (whether I used the soft option
or not make no difference)
 
I wonder if this is associated to bug 1621 .
(linux binary download running on NetBSD).
This did NOT happen on my Sun system, which also had a container running for 24+
hours.

------- Comment #1 From Andrew Mellanby 2004-08-09 22:33:46 -------

Looks like i'm getting confused over what I'm running where.
I get the null pointer exception regardless of whether the container is
recent or 24 hrs old.

How do I change the subject for this bug >

------- Comment #2 From Jarek Gawor 2004-08-10 08:53:52 -------

I asssume your container is running on the same machine and port 8080? Can you 
do grid-proxy-init -debug -verify as the user that is running the container?

------- Comment #3 From Andrew Mellanby 2004-08-10 17:44:12 -------

Yes, I am running the container and globus-stop-container on the same machine
with the same userid 'globus'.
Here is the log of, grid-proxy-init -debug -verify, I also did this on my
'working' Sun installation and got the same output.

I've fixed the signing policy file .. and sure enough there was no change
to the error.

------- Comment #5 From Andrew Mellanby 2004-08-11 21:20:09 -------

solved it ..  (solves 1882 too)
  
In,  org.globus.util.ConfigUtil.getOS()
it checks a list of predfined UNIX-type OSes .. NetBSD is not one of them.
This results, in other methods such as discoverCertDirLocation() to simply
return null rather than a pathname to a directory.

I put this line:
            (osname.indexOf("netbsd") != -1) ||
into org.globus.util.ConfigUtil.getOS() at the right place, and the
NullPointerExceptions have gone away.

------- Comment #6 From Jarek Gawor 2004-08-11 22:57:53 -------

A fix was committed to jglobus cvs. Thanks for catching this.
