http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080490 Bug ID: 1080490 Summary: /usr/lib/cron/run-crons miscalculates cron.daily triggers Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: Stromeko@NexGo.DE QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The part of the script that tries to figure out if it should run the cron.daily scripts miscalculates the condition for find. Instead of finding scripts that were not run yet today, it looks for scripts that were not run in the last 24 hours. If for whatever reason your cron.daily was run 23:59 yesterday, it will not run today. The correct way to deal with this is to either calculate how many minutes we are into the current day and run anything older than that again (similar to what cron.monthly is doing) or drop a cookie with 'touch -d "today 0:00" cookie' and run if not newer than that (TIME="-not -newer cookie"). Making that safe using mkstemp is left as an exercise for the reader. The cron.weekly section suffers from the same problem, but it's probably hard to notice. The cron.monthly section would probably get easier with the cookie file method as well. It is currently also making the mistake of dragging the current time of day into the result. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
