Anyone seen this before? I issue a simple rpiece command, like:
Rpiece @args &
The args file has some basic stuff in it:
-x 1024 -y 1024 -vf foo.vf -o foo.hdr foo.oct
When I issue the command, a zillion bash shells get spawned (can see them in
top) and after a few seconds the following errors print to the screen:
./rpiece: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
./rpiece: line 3: RADIANCE: command not found
./rpiece: line 4: -vtv: command not found
./rpiece: line 7: -Y: command not found
...followed by a bunch of garbage characters. Anyone know what's going on
here?
It looks like your system isn't case sensitive. Rpiece is interpreting that as a request for a rendering in 1M parts.

Hi Mark,
But my system *is* case sensitive. It's running OSX and it's a standard
POSIX compliant bash shell. You mean it's interpreting the -x as -X?

Hey Rob,
Well it does seem a bit odd. I believe that rpiece defaults to -X = 4 and -Y = 4, if nothing is specified on the command line.
It does look like too many copies are being forked though, thus all the bash shells getting spawned and the error message for fork indicating that no more resources are available.
Perhaps as one test it would be worth explicitly setting -X and -Y and seeing what happens? Is this a standard system you are running on or a cluster of some sort?

Actually now that I think about this, the forking has to do with something else, -X and -Y only specify how an image gets divided up not processes.... (it has been awhile since I have actually looked at how this works).
Perhaps another test would be to run (1) rpiece instance with the arguments explicitly at the command line (eg not in @args)....

I used OSX to create a simple args file from the command line for testing purposes, so there's no case funny-stuff going on in that regard. No, not a Windows shell (not at all!). I didn't have a chance to just test with all the args on the command line today, as Jack recommended, but will try tomorrow.

You have not specified either the "-X -Y" resolution or an existing
syncfile that rpiece should use to coordinate the processes. Rpiece
should treat that as a command error but apparently it doesn't.
Anyway, add either one of the options to tell rpiece how to chop up
the image and you should be fine.

Hi Thomas,
I did specify a syncfile. Sorry I guess I left that out in my summary. There is a -F (syncfile) in the args too. The syncfile was simply created at the bash prompt with "echo 1 8 > syncfile", so it should not have any character or line ending issues. I will try leaving it all out there on the command line when I get in to the office today.
Thomas you mention that OSX is not case sensitive by default? I have never seen this behavior. How does one ensure that it is behaving in a case sensitive manner? Case insensitivity is kind of a problem with rpiece since there are -x and -X, -y and -Y options that are important!

Hi Rob,
Thomas is referring to the fact that filenames on the default OS X filesystem are not case-sensitive, so "Foo.dat" is the same as "fOo.DaT". If you create the former, you can refer to it as the latter. It will still show up with the case you created it with, but the system silently ignores case when you refer to it. You can't have both "Foo.dat" and "fOo.dat" in the same directory -- creating the latter would overwrite the former.
This has nothing to do with what goes into a bash script, or how rpiece gets its options. Only on older Windows systems is case ignored in the command line itself. I don't know when that stopped being true, but I don't think that's true any longer.
I am as puzzled by the behavior you're seeing as everyone else. Without having all your files and scripts, though, it's pretty difficult to reproduce.
Cheers,
-Greg
