weird log check error

[mightyBroccoli]

I do get a weird error. First I am running the server a the user csgo without a valid shell. Normally I do use sudo -u csgo everything works the server starts up and no errors or anything. But when I restart the server with the intention to clean out old log files i get these errors no abort though.

`find: pred.c:1932: launch: Assertion starting_desc >= 0' failed.
/home/csgo/linuxgsm/CounterStrikeGlobalOffensive/lgsm/functions/logs.sh: line 100: 15601 Aborted                 find "${scriptlogdir}"/ -mtime +"${logdays}" -type f -exec rm -f {} \;

When I then just switch to the user csgo everything works fine. I will attach the complete log with the first sudo -u csgo try and directly after that the su csgo try.

Im not sure on this one. I have had a quick google but nothing useful :/

Paste expired. I'd suggest using a valid shell as it's the intended way for LGSM to work. Also, what distro are you using ?

[mightyBroccoli]

I don't know what happend there the paste is still active but github is not redirecting properly. https://paste.xinu.at/QHfCKk/

I am using Debian Jessie 64bit. The shell I am using is just for the security. The user does have all rights in all folders and for all files. That'S why this issue is that wierd.

To me, seems like your user doesn't have access to the proper command used to sort logs by date.

Here https://github.com/dgibbs64/linuxgsm/blob/master/lgsm/functions/logs.sh#L29

HF finding which one it is ! :p (I'd look for -mtime and find first.)

What is the default shell for your csgo user?

getent passwd csgo | cut -d: -f7

You're likely running the find commands using /bin/sh on Debian when the user is created without a specified shell. /bin/sh won't expand the script variables the same way as the bash shell does.

You'll have the same issue with ksh, rsh, and dash.

Change the csgo user's shell to /bin/bash and see if that fixes the issue:

usermod -s /bin/bash csgo

@cedarlug Do you know if there a way of preventing this within LGSM to allow users to run shells like dash without LGSM having issues?

[UltimateByte]

Closing as no feedback and isolated issue. BTW, lgsm is a bash script, not a dash. So ofc expect errors if you're not using bash. Feel free to submit fixes that would help if you wish to use something else than bash.
