Bug reference: 7983
Logged by: Marcelo Nunes
Email address: ***@oi.com.br
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.4
Operating system: Linux Red Hat 6
Description:

Hello, good afternoon.

When trying to run a batch in pgAgent the following error occurs.

DEBUG: Checking for jobs to run
DEBUG: Sleeping... sh: /tmp/pga_GvQxqM/5_9.scr: Permission denied
DEBUG: Clearing inactive connections
DEBUG: Connection stats: total - 1, free - 0, deleted - 0
DEBUG: Checking for jobs to run
DEBUG: Sleeping...

I have no idea what may be happening. The / tmp is allowed for everyone.

Thanks,
Marcelo Nunes

Isn't this bug something related with pgAdmin?
You should perhaps report this bug to their dedicated ML instead:

Is /tmp mounted with the noexec option?

Hello, Dave.

The pemissões of / tmp are:

[***@vmpjebdh /]# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt. 18 root root 4096 Mar 22 12:29 /tmp

Thanks,
Marcelo Matheus

Right, but is it mounted with noexec? Look at the output from the mount command.

Good afternoon, Dave.

The output of led mount brings the following about the / tmp:

/dev/mapper/vg_vmpjebdh2-LogVol01 on /tmp type ext4
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noat
ime)
Thanks,
Marcelo Matheus

That's likely the issue then - you need to mount /tmp without the
noexec option for pgAgent to be able to work.
