I don't see any thorslave_lcr (that's what I'm expecting, but please correct me if I'm wrong):

For testing purposes here, I believe we can just do:
Now /opt/HPCCSystems/sbin/thorslaves-exec.sh has many things going on and here is a comment. It checks that a couple of directories exist, BUT it will create those without "sudo" and I believe it would fail since parent directories are root only (e.g. /var/log, /var/run). It then creates a configuration file in /var/lib/HPCCSystems/thorslaves and finally run:
(which ends up being "sudo systemctl start thorslave@thorslave_mythor_1.service").
Which fails:
Now I was fiddling with thslavemain.cpp and I believe it's exiting because parameters are not passed properly. This is what's being called in the end:
I believe this is what it should be:
(notice the "–" before each argument name)
