Problem: When the job-exec module detects an exec error for a job shell it emits a confusing error message that includes either the path to the job shell or the IMP (if a multiuser job), and only the result of
strerror()
for the errno returned from libsubprocess. When using sdexec, this errno is alwaysENOENT
, resulting in a confusing error message that seems to indicate thatflux-imp
was not found.It is unhelpful to include
argv[0]
in this error message. It will always be the job shell or the IMP and we all know it. Drop this from the log message.Also, sdexec will provide extra information in the subprocess error string available from
flux_subprocess_fail_error (p)
. Log this instead ofstrerror (errno)
.Fixes #6568
