Agent can't write to last_state file

Suffering this bug with agent version 2.0.3. Agents have undergone an upgrade process. To clear the problem we stop service, remove last_state file and then restart the service. Appears as if the service is locking the last_state file.

I have the same problem
This is preventing my computers from being listed in the inventory
This is also preventing my computers that are already in the inventory to be updated
Thanks for fixing this as soon as possible.

Hi again,
I have tested the following :
1) I tried stopping and restarting the account : it doesn't work
2) I changed the service log on account to a local admin account... stop and start : it doesn't work
3) I changed the service log on account back to Local System Account : it works 1 time then doesn't work anymore.
That's what I have found up to now

Most likely duplicate of bug #901270 : Service doesn't wait Agent's end.

Hi,
I wrote this topic when i cencountered this bug : http://forums.ocsinventory-ng.org/viewtopic.php?id=9912

The only way I found to make my project work, is to write the "done" file in my installation script (instead of the agent), then my installation script restart the download.exe process.
It is not a good way to proceed but it works fine.

I hope this bug will be fixed soon.

Hi,

ElNounch, You're right in your Diag.

Emmanuel, your patch solve the problem here, but does not fix the error in wait function :-(

But, I've also located the problem, and applied patch from ElNounch for wait function.

I'm checking some test scripts, and I will release agent in 2 or 3 days.

Cheers

I've just tested agent v2.0.3.1 by upgrading agent v2.0.3.0 but I keep on having the same problem.
Did I miss something ?
