Description

All reports are missing (totally orange) for a node due to multiple cf-execd processes. The logs are there and visible in the web UI.

Workaround: Login on the node. stop rudder-agent. kill -9 cf-execd process which is still running. Start rudder-agent.

It seems like this is only happening on Ubuntu machines, not on CentOS/RHEL ones.

Ok, the problem is 

echo -n WARNING: Too many instance of CFEngine cf-execd processes running. Killing them...
WARNING: Too many instance of CFEngine cf-execd processes running. Killing them...+ xargs kill -9
+ awk 'BEGIN { OFS=" "} {print $2 }'
+ echo ' 1679 4026531838 S ?        00:00:00 /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-execd
 2046 4026531838 S ?        00:00:00 /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-execd'

it does detect that there are 2 cf-execd running, but doesn't get the proper entry for pid

This is probably linked to #7189 and #7243

Could not reproduce it on Centos nor Debian 7, but on Ubuntu the value is invalid

echo ${PS_COMMAND}
eval ps --no-header -e -O utsns | grep -E '^[[:space:]]*[[:digit:]]*[[:space:]]+4026531838'

but I do not have namespace; i think we should use ps -ef

Ubuntu supporte namespaces and in the previous output the command
ps -h -o utsns --pid $$
gives 4026531838 (the value in your grep) which only possible if you have namespace support.

But I see a possible reason, ps -O utsns change the output field order so the kill doesn't work.

This is not sufficient since it'll also raise the limits on all containers, i just don't know a more appropriate fix.
