#219 Solaris Sparc 64bit 3.3.5 `end of file' unexpected

[Michael Ford]

On a Sparc Solaris 64 bit system using the 3.3.5 release attempting to run the test wrapper causes the following error:

./testwrapper: syntax error at line 567: `end of file' unexpected

[Christian Mueller]

This has been fixed and will be in the next release.

until then, the updated script is attached.
just replace this file with the old one.

fix for solaris

Michael,
Could you please retest your problem with this new version on the shell script. This version fixes a problem caused by the ps command truncating its output to 80 columns. It would cause the script to fail to locate an existing process when the script was run from a deep directory structure.

The error that you are seeing is a little different. Look at the script on line 567, there is nothing there that should be causing that problem. Our tests on our own Solaris 64-bit SPARC system does not show such a problem so there must be something specific about your environment which is triggering this problem in the script.

1) Please verify that the new attached script still has the problem.
2) Send me the full output from when you execute the command, including the full command line of the script. That may help us to narrow down the problem.
3) Send me the output of "uname -a"
4) Send me the output of "pwd" in the directory where the wrapper binary and shell script are located.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Leif
