GroupWise agent fails to start.

After you installed any agent (MTA / POA / GWIA / WebAccess) you want to start it but:

 

1. rcgrpwise start <agent>  fails to load

2. ./<agent_binary> @../share/<agent_config_file> crashes with a seg fault error

 

Any other earlier installed agents starts fine.

These failures are caused by a mistake made during manual editing gwha.conf file. You will need to review all agent statements prior newly installed and check for any typos errors. Error like one bellow:

 

[<gateway>.<domain>]

wait=10

 

will cause problems due to missing the "=" character in the command line section. When you start any agent, the code parser goes over a content of the gwha.conf file and this typos error cause passing wrong values that later leads into a crash.
