Check What Recipe Is Executing on Linux VS

When executing recipes on a Linux-based VS, you can check what commands are being executed or where the recipe has stuck by doing the following:

1. Recipes always run by root, under a session, and with no tty. To identify the PID of the further process for a recipe, find the process under your processes list:

[root@cpinstall ~]# ps aux | grep notty
root       887  0.0  0.1  97944  2992 ?        Ss   12:51   0:00 sshd: root@notty
root     12964  0.0  0.0 103240   872 pts/0    R+   13:11   0:00 grep notty

CODE

2. After it has been identified, follow the process using the pstree command. This will create a dynamic view of the process:

[root@cpinstall] watch -n1 "pstree -H  887"


init─┬─auditd───{auditd}
     ├─crond
     ├─master─┬─pickup
     │        └─qmgr
     ├─6*[mingetty]
     ├─mysqld_safe───mysqld───10*[{mysqld}]
     ├─ntpd
     ├─rsyslogd───3*[{rsyslogd}]
     ├─snmpd
     ├─sshd───bash───pstree
     ├─sshd───bash───bash───onapp-cp-instal─┬─tee
     │                                      └─yum───sh───rake───{rake}
     ├─sshd
     └─udevd

CODE

Your process is executing sh───rake───{rake}. Go back to your recipe and check the full command. This is the command which has been executed:

rake onapp:password[admin,root_password]

CODE

The correct command should have been:

rake onapp:password[admin,$root_password]

CODE

The process has stuck due to the incorrect command.
