[Bug 335305] New: automatic online update produces bad output
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=335305 Summary: automatic online update produces bad output Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bjoern@cs.tu-berlin.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- The automatic online update configures a cron job like this (/etc/cron.d/yast2-online-update): 33 15 * * * root zypper up -y -t patch --skip-interactive Because such cron jobs produce output, root gets an e-mail with zypper's output. This output is really hard to read. The output contains special chars and is very redundant because of progress bars etc. The output seems to be optimized for interactive use and maybe for internal use (option --terse). Manually switching off the cron job output is not a good idea, because the system administrator often wants to know, which updates had been installed. The options "--quiet" and "--terse" do not solve the problem completely because there output is also hard to read. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
