Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 for Linux
Novell eDirectory 8.8 for Linux

Situation

The high utilization in ndstrace presents itself when NOT using

daemon mode, in a bash script. This problem has not resulted when typing these commands at the terminal.


Example of bash script causing high utilization in ndstrace

***************

#!/bin/bash

ndstrace > /dev/null &

sleep 10

ndstrace -c "set ndstrace = NODEBUG"

ndstrace -c "set ndstrace = +LDAP"

ndstrace -c "ndstrace"

****************



Working example of a script NOT having the problem

*****************

#/bin/bash!

ndstrace -l > /dev/null &

sleep 10

ndstrace -c "set ndstrace = NODEBUG"

ndstrace -c "set ndstrace = +LDAP"

ndstrace -c "ndstrace"

*****************

Resolution

When using ndstrace in a bash script, make sure to load it with the -l switch so that it loads in daemon mode. Please see the above working example as a work around to this issue.
