Preventing the Ksplice Enhanced Client From Patching User Space Processes and Libraries

If you don't want Ksplice to patch the user space processes for certain executables or libraries, you can specify the information in a /etc/ksplice/blacklist.d configuration file. The following is an example of a localblacklist.conf file. The example shows how you would prevent Ksplice from patching any process that corresponds to any executable in the /opt/app/bin or /usr/local/bin directory, or from patching any shared library with a name matching liblocal-*.

The following example shows the format of the rules, which are Python regular expressions:

[executables]
^/opt/apt/bin/.*$
^/usr/local/bin/.*$

[targets]
^liblocal-.*$
