Null Pointer Exceptions

[petercambal]

Hello, I am using you library at Linux: Linux ip----*** 4.9.77-31.58.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

From time to time I got exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.UnixProcessesService.parseList(UnixProcessesService.java:49) at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.AbstractProcessesService.getList(AbstractProcessesService.java:50) at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.AbstractProcessesService.getList(AbstractProcessesService.java:43) at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.AbstractProcessesService.getList(AbstractProcessesService.java:35) at org.jutils.jprocesses.JProcesses.getProcessList(JProcesses.java:136)

Edit: I found another One java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.UnixProcessesService.loadFullCommandData(UnixProcessesService.java:171) at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.UnixProcessesService.parseList(UnixProcessesService.java:88) at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.AbstractProcessesService.getList(AbstractProcessesService.java:50) at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.AbstractProcessesService.getList(AbstractProcessesService.java:43) at org.jutils.jprocesses.info.AbstractProcessesService.getList(AbstractProcessesService.java:35)

It would be great if you could check this issue, why is this happening and how to prevent this.

Hello,

What happens if you launch from your bash console the following command.?:

ps -e -o pid,command

[petercambal]

It prints list of processes, attributes processID and command. I will put a screenshot below.

Hi,

This is weird. The only thing that can cause this NPE is an error executing the command.

Normally the stack of the IOException should be logged at severe level:

Logger.getLogger(ProcessesUtils.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

Could you check if you have a log somewhere of type: "Cannot run program"... ?

Thanks

Another question. Does it happen systematically?

I have build a new version that should give us more clues.

If you are using maven, just add the dependency as:

<dependency>
         <groupId>org.jprocesses</groupId>
         <artifactId>jProcesses</artifactId>
     	<version>1.6.5-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependency>

If not, you can download the JAR file directly from here: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jprocesses/jProcesses/1.6.5-SNAPSHOT/jProcesses-1.6.5-20180326.171140-2.jar

It hapenned 24x over last 4 days, on 4 servers. Others seems fine. I did not notice any log with "Cannot run program" message. I am going to deploy code with new version and I will keep you updated.

Edit: I updated version in maven xml file, but it can not find dependency with this version.
