Greetings,
I just downloaded the mmonit from mmonit.com site on my CentOS box
untarred-unizipped it.
As per the documentation, I dutifully typed
./bin/mmonit
and it is refusing to run. I am running this as root and SELinux is disabled.
running it with strace spews the following (in entireity):
[begin]
# strace ./bin/mmonit
execve("./bin/mmonit", ["./bin/mmonit"], [/* 28 vars */]) =
-1 EACCES
(Permission denied)
dup(2) = 3
fcntl64(3, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(136, 2), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0xb7fed000
_llseek(3, 0, 0xbfd7e7b4, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
write(3, "strace: exec: Permission denied\n", 32strace: exec:
Permission denied
) = 32
close(3) = 0
munmap(0xb7fed000, 4096) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?
[end strace]
What am I missing here?
Thanks and Regards
Rajagopal

And that enables noexec. remounted the partition with exec option and things seem to be working now. IT flummoxed me for a moment... Thanks and Regards Rajagopal

I think the name is checkinstall and it comes from RPMForge. It monitors what you install, so you can uninstall it. If checkinstall is not the name of the package, I hope someone on the list will provide the correct name for you. You can install it with Yum, if you have the RPMForge Repository configured. The other problem(s) you are having, someone else will hopefully help you with. <snip>
