Emulab FAQ: Troubleshooting: My program agent command did not execute, why not?

If your program agent commands do not appear to be executing, then mostly likely your -command= string is being mis-parsed. To find out what the program agent executed, login to a node on which the command should have executed and look at /local/log/''obj''.status where obj is the name of the program agent object that the command is associated with.
