Checkmk Werk 14738: Linux agent: agent controller not in path when installing to non-default location

ID: 14738 Title: Linux agent: agent controller not in path when installing to non-default location Component: agents Level: 1 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.2.0i1 With the ruleset "Installation paths for agent files", you can choose non-default installation directories for the Checkmk agent, including the path for executables. While the chosen executable path should be in the <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable of target systems, this is not guaranteed. Previously, if it failed to be in the <tt>PATH</tt> within the context of the agent installation/update with dpkg or rpm, the installation scripts failed to find the command <tt>cmk-agent-ctl</tt>, which resulted in an inconsistent agent setup. This situation is now fixed by executing the agent controller by its full (custom) path on agent installation/update. Please note that the affected script <tt>/var/lib/cmk-agent/super-server/setup deploy</tt> won't be able to find the custom executable directory when called manually, so it will fall back to <tt>/usr/bin/cmk-agent-ctl</tt> or just <tt>cmk-agent-ctl</tt>.
