Closed as program error.
Error description
When a plugin command with impersonation fails on an agent (ex. create file), the user will get a null pointer exception (NPE) if the agent property file does not have a value declared for property com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptPostExecuteAction. The NPE masks the actual IO exception that the user would see if the NPE was not thrown. This makes it difficult for the user to know why the command failed. A code change is needed to check whether scriptPostExecuteAction is null before attempting to execute the post-execute action when the plugin command fails.
Local fix
The user can add a valid system command (ex: echo) to the agent property file for the property: com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptPostExecuteAction. For example, in the file <agent-install-dir>/conf/agent/installed.properties, add the property/value pair: com.urbancode.shell.impersonation.unix.scriptPostExecuteAction=e cho
