sa-stats.pl as distributed with SA v3.1.7 blows out a ton of WARNING: ignoring future date in syslog line: Dec 31 20:26:56 bubba spamd[7149]: prefork: child states: II
and the like, and ends up reporting zeros for results. Another machine with the same sa-stats.pl (and an earlier version as well) works just fine. Both machines are running Fedora Core 4 with Perl v5.8.6, but the one difference I found is in Parse::Syslog. The machine that works has v1.03. The one that blows up has v1.09. I can't tell if it's Parse::Syslog that is broken, or sa-stats.pl is failing to take advantage of a new feature of Parse::Syslog. On both machines, sa-stats.pl is called from a script in /etc/cron.daily/sa-stats thusly: #!/bin/sh # Set a 24-year period. start=`date -d yesterday` # to today end=`date` /usr/local/sbin/sa-stats -s "$start" -e "$end" Has anyone else experienced or fixed this?
