             Summary: Fix member status logic when directory specified
                 Key: GEODE-9478
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-9478
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
            Reporter: Mario Salazar de Torres


As result of doing some tests with the status GFSH command in a cloud native 
environment, it has been noticed that when --dir option, the internal logic, if 
API attachment is enabled, tries to access the JMX interface to query the 
server status.

And in order to obtain the JMX URL, the logic tries to attach to the member 
with its PID. But, the thing is that in the problematic use case, both the 
member and Gfsh/equivalent app using Gfsh API are in different containers, and 
such containers do not share the PID namespace.

When both member and the status requesting application have different PIDs the 
request fails given that the requesting application can't locate the member PID 
on its namespace, sending a SIGQUIT (in a unix-like env) and throwing an 
exception stating "no such process...". And if the internal logic notices that 
the process couldn't be found, instead of failing over the 
FileProcessController, it propagates the exception, causing the status request 
to fail.

Additionally it has been observed that with the current logic, the status 
command success if and only if the PID of the application executing the status 
command, and the PID of the member are the same. I.E: PID 1
The reason for that apparently is that there is some check in the JVM 
attachment API that verifies if the PID of the JVM you are trying to attach is 
the same as yours. If that's the case, it supposes that you are trying to 
attach to yourself and throws an exception.
In that case, the exception is catched by the internal logic and the status 
request failovers to the FileProcessController.
