Hi,
until now we are using a /etc/crontab file which has some lines like the
following:
*/10 * * * * root test -x /name/of/the/script && /name/of/the/script
In the past I had 2 ways If I don't want the script running:
- I could remove the 'x' attribute from the (existing) script
and
- I could remove (or not install) the script on the machine.
Now the second way does no longer work.
But if I change the above mentioned crontab line to
*/10 * * * * root if [ -x /name/of/the/script ]; then /name/of/the/script; fi
Then it works again as expected.
Because both lines contain valid shell code I assume this is a bug.
BTW - Changing then SHELL variable in /etc/crontab from /bin/sh to /bin/bash
has no effect.
Cheers, Christian
