Package: nscd Version: 2.7-18lenny1 Severity: normal Tags: patch /etc/init.d/nscd file call start-stop-daemon but without path. So, when called by crontab, /etc/init.d/nscd will fail.
To reproduce the issue, add following line to root crontab * * * * * /etc/init.d/nscd status >/tmp/nscd.log 2>&1 wait for the end of minute, and cat /tmp/nscd.log. You'll get: Status of Name Service Cache Daemon service: /etc/init.d/nscd: line 64: start-stop-daemon: command not found running. And nscd is also reported to run whenever it is stopped! /etc/init.d/nscd script need to be corrected in writing full path to start-stop-daemon which is /sbin/start-stop-daemon. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nscd depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries nscd recommends no packages. nscd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
