Hi.

 

Termux works with user privileges when viewed from android os. I want to install and run the Monitoring Agent with general user privileges. Is this possible?

 

Case1

$ bash Site24x7MonitoringAgent.install -i -key=xxx
download utility :: curl detected
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/python3.8

python detected :: python3.8

 Please use 'sudo' or log in as root to run Site24x7 monitoring agent. 

 

Case2

$ bash Site24x7MonitoringAgent.install -nonroot -i -key=xxx

download utility :: curl detected

/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/python3.8

python detected :: python3.8

Hi,

 I want to install and run the Monitoring Agent with general user privileges. Is this possible?

For the above requirement, case 2 will be a perfect fit as the agent will be running as non-root user (or the user who runs the installation script).

But, in Case 2, we see an error in the execution of the installation script:

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/data/site24x7’: Permission denied

Please confirm if the user running the installation script has the permission to create the above directory. This can be checked by executing the following command and see if its causing any error(s):

mkdir -p /data/site24x7 

Let us know the result and for further queries, if any.

Hi

 

I challenged with rooted android. However, I get an error even if I change the permissions as follows. Question: The installation directory / data / site24x7 / Is it possible to change to any directory (for example, home) from?

 

--- Pixel3 Android11(pixel3 factory stock rom) rooted ---

$ mkdir tmp;cd tmp

$ wget staticdownloads.site24x7.com/server/Site24x7InstallScript.sh

 add PATH

 PATH=$PATH:/data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin:/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/

 

$ sudo mkdir -p /data/site24x7

$ whoami

u0_a218

$ sudo chown -fR u0_a218.u0_a218 /data/site24x7

 

$ sudo chmod 777 /data/site24x7

$ ls -ld /data/site24x7

Hi,

The non-root agent will be installed in the user home directory. I think you have created the Site24x7 directory in tmp folder.

Kindly try the same in the user home directory and re-run the agent installation command.
