[Bioclusters] Re : Problem starting sge_schedd in Startupitems in OS X

[Rayson Ho]

Seems to be a bug in OSX. Can those who have OSX try to run this from
StartItem:

====================================================================

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

main()
{
 int fd, ret, size;
 char s[1024];
 struct stat buf;

 fd = open("/tmp/log.txt", O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC);

 size = sprintf(s, "%d\n", fd);

 write(fd, s, size);

 if (ret = fstat(0, &buf))
 {
  size = sprintf(s, "fail: %d\n", ret);
  write(fd, s, size);
 }

 if (ret = fstat(1, &buf))
 {
  size = sprintf(s, "fail2: %d\n", ret);
  write(fd, s, size);
 }

 if (ret = fstat(2, &buf))
 {
  size = sprintf(s, "fail3: %d\n", ret);
  write(fd, s, size);
 }
}

=====================================================================

It writes to /tmp/log.txt if it fails.
