Most of this bug no longer applies, but there is a small issue The current code (line 783 approx) catches errors from $SORT, but if the error comes from having zero log files to check i think it will be a bit confusing.
currently logoutput-sorted would be created as an empty file, but the call to error() would be a bit confusing And (once we add a systemd unit) the stderr from sort/sed could end up in the journal Think before the call to $SORT logcheck should check if $TMPDIR/logoutput/ is empty and if so, silently (or perhaps with error as it seems unlikely to be deliberate) do an exit 0 I think perhaps worth redirecting stderr into "$TMPDIR/logoutput-sorted" (perhaps needed elsewhere too) but i did not consider this fully yet one for post-bookworm
