Does one of the daily/monthly scripts try to pre-bind executables on the system volume, by any chance?

Possibly, but unlikely - as it happened for two consecutive builds.
I will correlate these errors with the system logs on that machine and see if it can give some clue.


"Text file busy" means that the program file in question is open for writing (that is, "text" here means program code, as I'm sure many people will already have guessed); you can see this by writing a short test program like the following

I wonder if xcodebuild tripped over itself somehow. Perhaps it didn't manage to close the file properly before trying to execute it? These machines are often under significant load, as they run a lot of builds.


As it's only happened a few times so far, it's by no means a critical problem, but our nightly & rolling builds are really important for our whole organization - everyone is using them: Engineering, Q&A, Support...
Besides the obvious problem with broken code, there always seems to be something messing with our builds - we're out of disk space, or we hit the process / fork limits, or the CVS checkout failed... For something so seemingly simple as automated builds, there are an amazing number of things that can go wrong!


Thanx for your input!
