Hrm. Well, the fork code is pretty generic; its almost verbatim=20 out of the OReilly "camel" book. =20 There might be some RHEL weirdness that I havent run in to yet,=20 I'll play around with the fork code on our RHEL box and see if I=20 can duplicate the problem. =20 For now I'd just run it with the -f flag and background it with=20 a '&' (assuming that works). The bigip template is built for the newer bigip boxen, which run on a linux kernel. We've only got a couple of them, and the snmp get that you get from them is not always reliable :( -Eric -----Original Message----- From: dev...@li... on behalf of Aiello, = Steve (GE, Corporate, consultant) Sent: Mon 2/27/2006 7:53 PM To: dev...@li... Subject: RE: [Devmon] Inappropriate ioctl for device =20 I am experiencing the same issue of: "Can't fork: Inappropriate ioctl for device". Also I am testing against an old BigIP (4.2 PTF 9), and the Connects test is not coming up with valid data.
