Hi Per, from what version did you upgrade to 12.2? AFAIK vixie-cron was last used in 11.3?
I think this box was upgraded from 12.1, maybe 11.[34]. I think you're right that cronie was introduced in 11.4. It's just taken us a little long to find this problem.
In earlier releases, /usr/sbin/cron was correctly written in lowercase. Well, in which release?
11.[023] for instance.
Are you sure it was written in lowercase?
Absolutely. Here's a log-excerpt from an 11.0 system: # cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.0 (i586) VERSION = 11.0 # grep cron /var/log/messages Sep 14 02:55:01 neon /usr/sbin/cron[8027]: (root) CMD ( /root/bin/rsync-backup) # rpm -qf /usr/sbin/cron cron-4.1-172.1 My workstation is still running 10.3, cron is written in lowercase.
http://man.cx/cron%288%29 says: The children copies of cron running these processes have their name coerced to uppercase, as will be seen in the syslog and ps output.
And that is a Vixie Cron manpage... And I couldn't find any patches addressing this in 11.3 or SLE.
The openSUSE man page doesn't mention any such thing.
So I don't think this is a bug, it's just the way that cron behaves.
No, the uppercase clearly appeared with the introduction of cronie. -- 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.
