https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482553 Summary: Scheduled Backup Fails To Run for Profile Names With Spaces Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: malv_star@hotmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1 Firefox/3.0.6 If you use the YaST2 Backup component and create a profile that has a space in the profile name (for example: "Weekly Backup" as opposed to "WeeklyBackup"), then the scheduled backup will fail to run successfully. This is due to the fact that the cron job does not correctly handle spaces. Mail sent to the root user at the time of the job indicates that the backup process is initiated, but fails when cron is unable to parse the name of the profile containing a space in it. I only noticed this because a customer did not have any old backups (I told the backup system to keep 3), and I had "send summary mail to root user" checked. Checking the mail showed the failure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create backup profile with a space in the name 2. Check "send summary mail to root user" during profile creation 3. Set the profile to run "automatically" through Yast 4. Backup fails to run - check mail for error message. Actual Results: Scheduled backup has failed to run. Expected Results: Backup should have completed normally as if the user had pressed the "Manual Backup" button. Suggested fix is to either disallow profile names with spaces or to have cron parse the spaces correctly. -- 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.
