[yast-devel] Snapper destructor
Hello, when I issue snapper commands sometime the program leaves a logfile in CWD called "Snapper destructor" with contents like 2012-08-12 00:01:01 MIL libsnapper(725) Snapper.cc(~Snapper):85 - Snapper destructor 2012-08-12 01:01:01 MIL libsnapper(597) Snapper.cc(~Snapper):85 - Snapper destructor 2012-08-12 02:01:01 MIL libsnapper(1232) Snapper.cc(~Snapper):85 - Snapper destructor 2012-08-12 03:01:01 MIL libsnapper(634) Snapper.cc(~Snapper):85 - Snapper destructor 2012-08-12 04:01:02 MIL libsnapper(596) Snapper.cc(~Snapper):85 - Snapper destructor 2012-08-13 22:01:01 MIL libsnapper(549) Snapper.cc(~Snapper):85 - Snapper destructor I'm starting to get annoyed by these files.

Is the file really called "Snapper destructor" or something like "snapper.log"? What are the CWDs you see that file? Do you use the command line tool snapper or the yast gui?

From the periodic times it seems likely that the file is created by the hourly cron job.

It will need more investigation to say that. The log message itself is clear but it should be contained in /var/log/snapper.log (when snapper is called as root but that's the only reasonable use currently). And if for some reason logging happens to another file there should be much more log messages, e.g. from the constructor. Can you provide the file /var/log/snapper.log so we can check whether the other log entries are there?

Yes it's called "Snaapper destructor." I've tried to find out when these are created to verify my memories that the files is created in CWD and not in $HOME (which is CWD most of the time for me atm) but I've not succeded in this. I use the cli tool. I forgot to mention -- this is not on my OpenSuse box but my Arch Linux computer.

Thanks, but the log is from another time period. Anyway, since you use Arch Linux I suppose you have compiled snapper from the sources. Please try the latest version with the fix I added today.

Oh, sorry!

I've compiled and installed that version now. I'll report back if I still get these files. -- Erik Westrup <erik.westrup@gmail.com> (+46) 0738-286060 | 2r.se Lagerbrings väg 8E, SE-22460 Lund, Sweden ----------------------------------------- This email is encrypted with 2ROT-13. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Now I have an idea what is going wrong. In that case the file is only be created when snapper reports an error. Maybe you can verify that. I'll improve the code for the next release.
