Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-127 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
on Debian Jessie the cron daemon is being started with the parameter -f (for running in "foreground"). Now, when restarting the daemon using "systemctl restart cron.service" all running processes *initiated* by the cron daemon will be killed. I think the culprit is in this file: /lib/systemd/system/cron.service sol3@leeds:~$ ps auxww | grep '[c]ron' root 8694 0.0 0.0 27464 2644 ? Ss Apr28 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron -f sol3@leeds:~$ In the past (with Squeeze, Wheezy etc.) cron was always daemonized and that behaviour never(!) happened, I think this -f is a pretty dangerous thing. Kind regards, Joerg Morbitzer -- Package-specific info: --- EDITOR: --- /usr/bin/editor: /usr/bin/vim.gtk --- /usr/bin/crontab: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root crontab 36008 Oct 26 2014 /usr/bin/crontab --- /var/spool/cron: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 28 11:44 /var/spool/cron --- /var/spool/cron/crontabs: drwx-wx--T 2 root crontab 4096 Mar 27 09:37 /var/spool/cron/crontabs --- /etc/cron.d: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 28 11:45 /etc/cron.d --- /etc/cron.daily: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 20 07:03 /etc/cron.daily --- /etc/cron.hourly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 28 11:40 /etc/cron.hourly --- /etc/cron.monthly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 28 11:45 /etc/cron.monthly --- /etc/cron.weekly: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 28 11:45 /etc/cron.weekly -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debianutils 4.4+b1 ii dpkg 1.17.25 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.8-3.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 Versions of packages cron recommends: ii exim4 4.84-8 ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-transport-agent] 4.84-8 Versions of packages cron suggests: ii anacron 2.3-23 pn checksecurity <none> ii logrotate 3.8.7-1+b1 Versions of packages cron is related to: pn libnss-ldap <none> pn libnss-ldapd <none> pn libpam-ldap <none> pn libpam-mount <none> ii nis 3.17-33 pn nscd <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
