Workflow hangs when executing shell command on ubuntu despite command executing
Hello, Just want to preface this by saying I’m fairly new to SysAdmin work. That said, I appreciate any insight and would kindly ask if replies could avoid assuming too much context. :) I was tasked with opening a specific URL on every machine in the domain at a scheduled time. I set up a workflow (currently running only on manual starts from the Automation Hub) as follows: Windows: Start-Process "explorer.exe" "[URL]" macOS: open "[URL]" Linux (Ubuntu 24 test machine): see below On Windows and macOS, the commands work perfectly and the workflow ends as soon as the browser launches. On Linux, however, I ran into issues. The Pulseway agent always seems to execute commands as root (even when the “Run as logged in user” option is selected). I tried running the command as the seat0 user with runuser -u, but Firefox/xdg-open wasn’t inheriting $DISPLAY/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY, $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, and $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS correctly. After a lot of band-aid fixing, I ended up with this super scuffed one-liner (I am aware this is probably very suboptimal, but it at least launches Firefox so I'm not touching it until I know more): U=$(loginctl list-sessions --no-legend | awk '$4=="seat0" && $3!="gdm" && $3!="lightdm"{print $3; exit}'); if [ -n "$U" ]; then UID=$(id -u "$U"); (runuser -u "$U" -- bash -c '(( env WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/'"$UID"' DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/'"$UID"'/bus /usr/bin/firefox --no-remote --new-instance --new-window --start-maximized "[URL]" >/dev/null 2>&1) &) & disown'); fi; exit 0This does successfully launch Firefox with the URL, but the workflow action hangs for ~30 minutes (until max execution time hits, currently set to 1h). I’ve tried: >/dev/null 2>&1 & nohup disown spawning a subshell and exiting it in hopes that would trigger the pulseway agent to get a kind of "command executed" signal. But nothing has worked, the workflow still hangs instead of completing once the command is handed off. So I think I’m misunderstanding something fundamental either about Linux process handling, or how Pulseway agents execute/track Linux commands within workflows. Happy to provide any further information if needed, thank you in advance! Veljko (Max)

Need some guidance as in what category should I participate into?
Hello there, This is my first post after just joining this discussion, so please forgive me and provide kind assistance if I have posted to the wrong subsection. I am new here but a real enthusiast and loving😍 this community so far. I have a background in teaching coding and in education and feel I could help with documentation, at least for starters. As a new member in this forum and wish to share and gain some knowledge. I am looking forward to create my own discussion to resolve my query and gain some knowledge though I have taken part in various discussion which is definitely helped me a lot. Also in what category should be taken depends on what factors? Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.😇

Dropbox service monitoring
Hi, i want to know how i can monitor the dropbox daemon on linux, i'v tried things with workflow but when i stop the service manualy it won't send me a notification or try to restart the service, and that is bothering me becaus on our servers we need to have dropbox running all the time for our application, i know that dropbox is weird on linux, it won't show with systemctl, but it's still like a daemon. I'm running debian buster machine all up to date with the last pulseway agent

Not detecting systemd services
I am trying to configure Pulseway on my Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS machine, but I'm having issues getting it to recognise systemd services. The services I want to monitor are smbd, plexmediaserver and clamav-freshclam. Regardless of what configuration I use, none of these services are even recognised by Pulseway let alone monitored. I have also tried setting each service as "NONE", "UPSTART" and "SYSVINIT" but nothing seems to work. The strange part is that ssh is monitored despite the fact that it's configuration is identical to the others. Here is a screenshot of my configuration: Can someone please help me out here? Is there something I'm missing? EDIT: Never mind. It suddenly started working after I posted this.

Unable to activate Ping Responses notifications on Ubuntu Server 20.04
Hello there, I was in the process of configuring my Pulseway agent on a VPS running Ubuntu Server 20.04 and I ran in this interesting bug. Even using the sample config provided by the agent, uncommenting the Ping Responses bloc throws this error in the log, and prevents the service from starting. vps pulseway: Starting Pulseway Daemon version 6.5 (2019082205) vps pulseway: Configuration: Values for 'Milliseconds' attribute at 'PingResponse' node 10.6.0.53(1) should be between 1 and 1000 vps systemd: pulseway.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE The PingResponse bloc in /etc/pulseway/config.xml looks like this: <PingResponses> <PingResponse Address="10.6.0.53" Milliseconds="1500" Minutes="1" PriorityOnSlowResponse="1" PriorityOnNoResponse="1" Alias="vps DNS notif" Enabled="true"/> </PingResponses> So then I tried many Milliseconds values between 1 and 1000 but the same exact error always comes back. Is this a known issue or is there anything wrong with my setup? Many thanks to anyone who can help, Best,
- Ping and if below x milliseconds then create error sending notification?

Failure in main service - Raspbian
I am attempting to install pulseway on my raspberry pi 3b+, and have downloaded and installed the correct file from the pulseway website, and made sure that my openssl libraries are up to date and correctly setup. I followed through with the given installation instructions and repeatedly the pulseway service is unable to be started. When executing the command sudo systemctl start pulseway, the command works and presents no errors. Upon checking the app or the list of all services, however, pulseway is not shown as a service and there is no devices connected to the app. See the attached images for the output of sudo systemctl status pulseway

Proxmox Management
The same way it works on Xen server or VMware, it would be great to be able to manage de Proxmox containers and KVM from the UI. I already installed it on the Host (the promox) using the Debian install, which is great, but it would be great to have buttons to manage the VMs and see the performance.
