[Bug 972984] cron.daily jobs not executed daily when timestamps are backed up (script used wrong timestamps)

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972984 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972984#c3 Kristyna Streitova changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #3 from Kristyna Streitova --- This is the same issue as bug 980873 that we've just closed as invalid. Using zero-length lock files is common Unix practice and we believe that this is the problem with third-party software that shouldn't alter the ctime timestamp. I'm sorry, but I'm closing this issue as invalid. (In reply to Ulrich Windl from comment #0)

Another note: This may be a duplicate of Bug 960716, but the former had been closed as being invalid while it seems to address the same issue.

Btw. That was a little bit different issue about an inability to set the custom times for hourly, daily, weekly and monthly scripts with the current version of the run-crons script. However, we figured out that this is possible and the SLE12 manual provides a solution (see comment 2). So no changes in the run-crons script were needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
