Restarting Linux / SSH agents correctly
-
Hi!, we just upgraded to buildmaster 7 and found the Restart_Server() command which looked very interesting. However when trying it out we get the following error:
"ERROR: 2022-10-11 09:27:02Z - Unhandled exception: System.NotSupportedException: SSH agents cannot currently be restarted."
Im guessing based on that error statement that this particular command was not designed to work on linux servers?, so what is the best or most correct way to restart a linux server using buildmaster?,
the way we currently have it configured is basically just doing a shexec reboot within a try/catch, this however generates an exception as this will cut the ssh connection short and we catch it, however we have had some issues with this in the past as it has sometimes broke the buildmaster service mid deployment (on buildmaster6.1, havent tried it on 7 yet), but perhaps there is better ways to do linux reboots, is there a recommended way?, will perhaps the Restart_Server() command support linux reboots in the future?

Hi @fkarlsson_2176 ,
Linux servers need to be restarted?
Yes - it's a bit tricky to do the reboot in OtterScript, due to the connection being lost like that. That operation has some special handling for that.
Anyways - we'll add support for this via BM-3793 -- I think that never made its way over from Otter. We hope to ship that in the October 21 maintenance release, but it might be delayed if it's complex or sisues during testing.
Cheers,
Steve
