Description Olaf Hering 2006-04-13 09:30:52 UTC

I dont use networkmanager. but zmd fills up the syslog with stuff like:

Apr 13 10:48:40 nectarine zmd: NetworkManagerModule (WARN): Failed to connect to NetworkManager 
Apr 13 10:58:38 nectarine zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Preparing to sleep... 
Apr 13 10:58:38 nectarine zmd: ShutdownManager (WARN): Going to sleep, waking up at 04/13/2006 12:38:38 

dont do that.

NetworkManager support is an optional add-on module for zmd. SuSE packages enable NetworkManager support explicitly. The warning message makes total sense: you have chosen (well, your distro in this case) to use NetworkManager support and if it doesn't work, we provide a warning message.

Comment 2 Olaf Hering 2006-04-18 23:25:36 UTC

I assume that rm /usr/lib/zmd/modules/Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.NetworkManager.dll will get rid of this warning? Will it introduce other warnings?
These messages will also appear if NetworkManager was disabled (in favor of ifup/ifdown) during intial install.

As such, the uninformative message is not acceptable. If the bug is outside of zmd.rpm, pass it on.

Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2006-04-18 23:32:59 UTC

Also, the ShutdownManager message looks like pure debug to me. syslog already has the '-- MARK --' timestamp. and they appear in /var/log/zmd-messages.log, if anyone cares about them.

James volunteered to handle it, thanks!
