[Bug 266498] New: cron isn't restarted after update
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=266498 Summary: cron isn't restarted after update Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hpj@urpla.net QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: hpj@urpla.net Latest update to cron 4.1.70 didn't restart the service after update, which is a major flaw, given the role cron plays on our systems, isn't it? I do automatic updates with a hand rolled yum infrastructure, thus it could be, that it didn't failed with the usual update machanics, but I doubt it. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

How exactly did you do the update? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

1. Did cron restart then with rccron restart?
Yes, that did the trick. 2. Can you reproduce the failure when updating cron manually, using rpm? Will try later, but could the fact, that cron is updated out of a cron job, be related? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=266498 ------- Comment #5 from mkoenig@novell.com 2007-05-09 03:26 MST ------- Yes, that might be an issue. It is probably the same as #248163, which is already fixed for 10.3. cron forks another cron process, which updates cron, cron is stopped. The new start fails, because there is still a cron process running, because startproc does not check the PID. Can you please check the patch in the mentioned bug? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
