Problem running command from symbolic link
I have a strange problem with running a command from a symbolic link. The command is installed like this:
# ls -alZ /opt/elasticsearch-curator/ drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 . drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 .. -rw-rw-r--. root root system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 cacert.pem -rwxrwxr-x. root root system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 curator -rwxrwxr-x. root root system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 curator_cli -rwxrwxr-x. root root system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 es_repo_mgr drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 lib
Running the commands in that directory directly works fine:
# /opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator Usage: curator [OPTIONS] ACTION_FILE [...] # /opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator_cli Usage: curator_cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... [...]
However running from a symbolic link, one of the commands fails:
# ln -s /opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator /tmp/curator # /tmp/curator Fatal error: unable to stat executable # ln -s /opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator_cli /tmp/curator_cli # /tmp/curator_cli Usage: curator_cli [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... [...]
Traces:
lstat("/tmp/curator", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=34, ...}) = 0 readlink("/tmp/curator", "/opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator", 4097) = 34 lstat("/opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator\341\352\244\177", 0x7ffcac929ee0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) lstat("/tmp/curator_cli", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=38, ...}) = 0 readlink("/tmp/curator_cli", "/opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator_cli", 4097) = 38 lstat("/opt/elasticsearch-curator/curator_cli", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0775, st_size=2633352, ...}) = 0
4 bytes (which seems random every time) are added to the filename in the lstat call on the binary which fails. Do anyone have an explanation on what is happening here?
