Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-110 Severity: important
Hi, On two different machines I have some cron jobs failing after upgrading from 3.0pl1-105 to 3.0pl1-110. Involved MTA is postfix in both cases. Downgrading to 3.0pl1-105 makes the issue go away again. For example, the below cronjob normally executes without output, within 1-2 seconds. # m h dom mon dow command */2 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -s >/dev/null 2>&1 Now it fails: May 14 11:44:02 server /USR/SBIN/CRON[8853]: (robbert) CMD (/usr/bin/fetchmail -s >/dev/null 2>&1) May 14 11:44:03 server /USR/SBIN/CRON[8852]: (CRON) error (grandchild #8853 failed with exit status 1) After which cron sends an e-mail, with: Subject: Cron <robb...@awakenings> /usr/bin/fetchmail -s >/dev/null 2>&1 (failed) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh> X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/robbert> X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin> X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=robbert> Message-Id: <20100514094403.17b9f19...@server> Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 11:44:03 +0200 (CEST) command failed with exit status 1 Regards, Robbert -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cron depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii debianutils 3.2.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libpam-runtime 1.1.1-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.1-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 2.0.94-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages cron recommends: ii lockfile-progs 0.1.13 Programs for locking and unlocking ii postfix [mail-transport-agent 2.6.5-3 High-performance mail transport ag Versions of packages cron suggests: pn anacron <none> (no description available) pn checksecurity <none> (no description available) ii logrotate 3.7.8-6 Log rotation utility -- debconf information: * cron/checksecurity: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
