      The pxp-agent service scripts on the AIX, OSX, and Solaris platforms now manipulate the service using the wrapper script located in /opt/puppetlabs/bin/pxp-agent, which cleans up the linker environment prior to calling the actual binary. This prevent failures due to incompatible libraries being loaded.

      If you want to modify pxp-agent's linker environment, then you must directly call the pxp-agent binary (/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/pxp-agent).

    Description

      The wrapper script at /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/wrapper.sh was created to work around issues like LD_LIBRARY_PATH causing Puppet services to load incompatible libraries.  However, pxp-agent is hardcoded to use /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/pxp-agent and therefore is still susceptible to these issues.

      This can be reproduced on AIX with any version of pxp-agent.

       

      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/pxp-agent --foreground --loglevel debug --log-pcp-access
      		 
      exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/pxp-agent because of the following errors:
      		 
              0509-150   Dependent module /usr/lib/libssl.a(libssl.so.1.1) could not be loaded.
      		 
              0509-152   Member libssl.so.1.1 is not found in archive

      The pxp-service should use the wrapper script, which modifies LD_LIBRARY_PATH
